Bath re-enamelling for Headbourne Worthy homes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Bath re-enamelling in Headbourne Worthy without replacing anything

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and chips and rust in more than one place.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Headbourne Worthy and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes most of the 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. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Headbourne Worthy

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Store bottles off the bath

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Headbourne Worthy. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Headbourne Worthy, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

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 also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Headbourne Worthy questions

Do you work in Headbourne Worthy?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Headbourne Worthy for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
