Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hartley Wespall. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • No need to remove anything
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A fixed quote before you book

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hartley Wespall

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you’re dealing with several chips and rust patches and thin, worn enamel in places, we can generally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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 is easier on the people living there.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, 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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Common questions in Hartley Wespall

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Hartley Wespall.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Hartley Wespall

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Hartley Wespall

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What preparation is included
