Bath re-enamelling in Lyde Green

About our bath re-enamelling in Lyde Green

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and lots of chips and rust spots.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Common problems we fix in Lyde Green

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

Work for landlords and builders

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.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No extra charge for your area

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Common questions in Lyde Green

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How we price bath re-enamelling

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
