Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Farnborough, Hampshire
Local bath re-enamelling for Farnborough: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Farnborough
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and a roll-top that’s seen better days, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Farnborough. The price reflects:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
We don’t add 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 to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size

For a price in Farnborough, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Farnborough
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Common reasons people in Farnborough contact us are:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- What prep work is covered
- How your room will be protected
- Whether they match the colour on site
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Fix dripping taps quickly
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
