About our bath re-enamelling in Bitterne Manor
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you’re dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and lots of chips and rust spots, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
FAQs for Bitterne Manor
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you cover the entire of Southampton?
We work UK-wide, so Bitterne Manor is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Are there extra charges for Bitterne Manor?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bitterne Manor
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a full day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
