Bath re-enamelling in Bonchurch without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you’re dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths alike.
Rural addresses like Bonchurch just need a little planning. Tell us about narrow lanes, long drives or parking, and we’ll do the rest.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Have chips seen to early
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take the best part of a day. Somewhere like Bonchurch needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring everything needed for the bath re-enamelling, so there’s no second trip.
- 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.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. In an older home in a village like Bonchurch, replacing a bath can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.
Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
