Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

About our bath re-enamelling in Otterbourne
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are worn patches where water runs and sits and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops

The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a full day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Otterbourne. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Otterbourne questions
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Otterbourne.
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.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Other services in Otterbourne
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we are called out for in Otterbourne
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Otterbourne use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
