Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bowerchalke
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We’re often asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath split right through the body
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Bowerchalke
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Bowerchalke?
Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Several chips and rust patches
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Have chips seen to early
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
