Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Bath re-enamelling in Eastleigh, done in place
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a coating lifting around the plughole.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Never use suction bath mats
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Questions from Eastleigh
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Eastleigh included. There is no extra charge for travel.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do you come to Eastleigh?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Eastleigh. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What else we do in Eastleigh
What affects the price in Eastleigh
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Eastleigh. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
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.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Eastleigh
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Before you book anyone

- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
