Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Hillyfields, Southampton
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Hillyfields, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Never use suction bath mats
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Bath re-enamelling in Hillyfields without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hillyfields as everywhere else we work.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
When to call us in Hillyfields
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Stains that will not shift

Repair or replace in Hillyfields?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on

Other services in Hillyfields
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price.
