Bath re-enamelling in Gosport

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Bath re-enamelling in Gosport, done in place

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Gosport

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

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

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Gosport. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow most of the day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

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

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
