Bath re-enamelling in Eling without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Typical jobs include a coating lifting around the plughole and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most customers in Eling get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Eling questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Eling?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Southampton, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Eling?
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Common reasons people in Eling contact us are:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How to care for the finish
- Whether a trained technician does the job
