How we handle bath re-enamelling in Lee-on-the-Solent

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can normally put it right, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What affects the price in Lee-on-the-Solent

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

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Lee-on-the-Solent, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Lee-on-the-Solent: your questions answered

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

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?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Lee-on-the-Solent

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Advice

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lee-on-the-Solent

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hampshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
