Bath re-enamelling at your home in Houghton
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. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are several chips and rust patches and staining under the taps and around the waste.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Houghton as everywhere else we work.

Common problems we fix in Houghton
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Stains that will not shift
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- Aftercare advice
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the colour is matched
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Houghton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

What affects the price in Houghton
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SO20 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

FAQs for Houghton
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Houghton?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Hampshire.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What else we do in Houghton
Should you replace it?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One price list for the entire UK
Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
