Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Bath re-enamelling in Northam without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are worn patches where water runs and sits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Common questions in Northam
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Northam and the rest of Southampton. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Northam?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What affects the price in Northam
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays

Landlords, agents and businesses in Northam
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Common problems we fix in Northam
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

- Who will actually do the work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
