Bath re-enamelling at your home in Elson
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and lots of chips and rust spots.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Elson?
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Several chips and rust patches
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Elson questions
Do you come to Elson?
We do. We send a technician to Elson for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
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.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hampshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A bath split right through the body
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow the best part of a day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Never use suction bath mats
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Elson. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
