How we handle bath re-enamelling in Keyhaven
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and stains that won’t shift, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keyhaven: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SO41 postcode.
Repairing versus replacing in Keyhaven
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What affects the price in Keyhaven
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Keyhaven?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- An old resurfacing that is failing

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes most of the day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Keyhaven as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
