Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Old Basing
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and thin, worn enamel in places.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Old Basing and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Advice
What affects the price in Old Basing
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What we are called out for in Old Basing
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Common questions in Old Basing
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?
All of Hampshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Old Basing, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
