How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Questions from Bitterne
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Southampton.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

What affects the price in Bitterne
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Bitterne. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What we are called out for in Bitterne
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Look out for these signs:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Before booking anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- How the room is protected while they work
- What aftercare is recommended
