Bath re-enamelling near Fleet

Bath re-enamelling in Fleet, done in place

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and staining under the taps and around the waste.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Never use suction bath mats

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

FAQs for Fleet

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you cover Fleet?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Fleet. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Fleet, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When to call us in Fleet

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
