Bath re-enamelling at your home in Millbrook
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can generally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Common questions in Millbrook
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is repairing better than replacing?
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.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Southampton. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
When to call us in Millbrook
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long it needs to cure
- What preparation is included

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
