The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in New Forest
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What else we do in New Forest
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including New Forest. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Have chips seen to early
- Never use suction bath mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
