Bath re-enamelling for Deadwater homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Deadwater

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Should you replace it?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Deadwater

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How changes to the job are handled

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hampshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Deadwater as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Common questions in Deadwater

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Do you cover Deadwater?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Deadwater. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Advice

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
