Trusted bath re-enamelling in Fishbourne

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Bath re-enamelling in Fishbourne, done in place

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and stains that won’t shift.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Isle of Wight.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Fishbourne

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Repair or replace in Fishbourne?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Fishbourne

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your PO33 postcode.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

When to call us in Fishbourne

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work
