What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Bath re-enamelling in Minstead without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about several chips and rust patches and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Minstead and across Hampshire.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Questions from Minstead
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Minstead?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you cover Minstead?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Minstead. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Minstead. The price reflects:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Minstead. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SO43 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hampshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair

When to call us in Minstead
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
