About our bath re-enamelling in Colden Common
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a coloured bath you want in white and staining under the taps and around the waste.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Preparing for the visit

- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Questions from Colden Common
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do you come to Colden Common?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Colden Common from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Common problems we fix in Colden Common
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Aftercare advice
- What preparation is included
Landlord and trade work in Colden Common
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hampshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Fix dripping taps quickly
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that is rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
