Bath re-enamelling at your home in Fawley

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and several chips and rust patches, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace in Fawley?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Fawley questions

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

What affects the price in Fawley

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Fawley. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Fawley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
