Bath re-enamelling near Long Sutton

About our bath re-enamelling in Long Sutton

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a full day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Should you replace it?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs

FAQs for Long Sutton

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Repair dripping taps early

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, 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.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

When to call us in Long Sutton

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
