Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in East Stratton, Hampshire
We travel to East Stratton for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why East Stratton clients choose us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- No need to remove anything
- We leave the room as we found it
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Bath re-enamelling in East Stratton without replacing anything
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in East Stratton as everywhere else we work.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a full day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Common questions in East Stratton
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Landlord and trade work in East Stratton
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Common problems we fix in East Stratton
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
