Book bath re-enamelling in Bighton

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Bath re-enamelling in Bighton without replacing anything

We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Typical jobs include chips and rust in more than one place and a coating lifting around the plughole, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Roll-top bath being refinished by a Surface Doctor technician

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Bighton questions

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your SO24 postcode.

Should you replace it?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bighton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
