About our bath re-enamelling in Gosport

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for chips and rust in more than one place and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should you replace it?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gosport

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Gosport: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

How long does re-enamelling last?

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Gosport

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

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

What we work on

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

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

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