Bath Re-enamelling for Brockhurst homes
Our repair technicians come to Brockhurst for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Landlords, agents and businesses in Brockhurst
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
For anyone letting property in or around Brockhurst, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Bath re-enamelling in Brockhurst without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We are frequently asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and wear marks under the taps, in pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
FAQs for Brockhurst
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
When to call us in Brockhurst
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Stains that won’t shift
Comparing quotes
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What preparation is included
- If travel is included in the price
- Who will actually do the work
Repair or replace in Brockhurst?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
