Bath re-enamelling in Lovedean without replacing anything

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and stains that won’t shift, we can help.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What we are called out for in Lovedean

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Before you book anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we cannot put right

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

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  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

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice

What affects the price in Lovedean

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Lovedean. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Lovedean

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Lovedean and the rest of Hampshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Lovedean, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Have chips seen to early

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 any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
