Fareham questions
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Fareham included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Fareham
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s several chips and rust patches and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can usually put it right, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fareham
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hampshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What affects the price in Fareham
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a full day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Never use suction bath mats
- Have chips seen to early
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What your bath is made of matters
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.
