Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Bath re-enamelling in Durley without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We’re frequently asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Durley and across Hampshire.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair

- Acrylic baths

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Never use suction bath mats
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Durley
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Are there extra charges for Durley?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work in Durley?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Durley from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a full day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Most clients in Durley get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
