Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Cowplain, Hampshire
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing for homes and businesses in Cowplain and across Hampshire. Send pictures for a free, fixed quote.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Wear marks under the taps
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Have chips seen to early
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Bath re-enamelling in Cowplain, done in place
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Cowplain. The price comes down to:

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
If you’re in Cowplain and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we’re called out for in Cowplain
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Common reasons people in Cowplain contact us are:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A coloured bath you want in white

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- 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 next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Cowplain questions
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Cowplain included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
