Need bath re-enamelling in Littleton?

Bath re-enamelling in Littleton without replacing anything

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include a roll-top that’s seen better days and staining under the taps and around the waste, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a full day, tidy-up included.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  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 usually ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

Littleton: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

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

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Do you cover Littleton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Littleton and the rest of Hampshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Repair or replace in Littleton?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Littleton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
