How we handle bath re-enamelling in Nursling

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and chips and rust in more than one place.

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

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Nursling?

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

Common reasons people in Nursling contact us include:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Nursling

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Nursling. Prices don’t change with location.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Will there be a smell?

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

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Landlord and trade work in Nursling

For anyone letting property in or around Nursling, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Why repair rather than replace?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour-matched on site

Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Nursling. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
