About our bath re-enamelling in Paulsgrove
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, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about a coloured bath you want in white and wear marks under the taps.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Paulsgrove: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Paulsgrove?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Paulsgrove?
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What prep work is covered
- What protection goes down before work starts
Repair or replace in Paulsgrove?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Paulsgrove. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
