About our bath re-enamelling in Highcliffe

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include several chips and rust patches and stains that won’t shift, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Common questions in Highcliffe

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you charge for travel?

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

How long does re-enamelling take?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Highcliffe included. Travel is included in the price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, tidy-up included.

  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 key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Common problems we fix in Highcliffe

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
