Bath re-enamelling for North Fareham homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in North Fareham

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

What affects the price in North Fareham

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PO17 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in North Fareham

Do you come to North Fareham?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to North Fareham. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in North Fareham?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How to look after the finish
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
