Bath Re-enamelling in Forestside
We travel to Forestside for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Stains that won’t shift
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

About our bath re-enamelling in Forestside
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and a coloured bath you want in white, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Forestside
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Aftercare advice
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
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.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
