About our bath re-enamelling in Bishop's Waltham
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include a roll-top that’s seen better days and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a full day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Common questions in Bishop's Waltham
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you cover the entire of Hampshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Bishop's Waltham and the rest of Hampshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
