Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes most of the day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Northington
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Hampshire.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Northington. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
When to call us in Northington
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Look out for these signs:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Before you book anyone
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
