What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

How we handle bath re-enamelling in New Milton

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and thin, worn enamel in places.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Should you replace it?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your photos

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

New Milton questions

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Hampshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in New Milton?

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Repair dripping taps early

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
