Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Penton Corner, Hampshire
Bath re-enamelling across Penton Corner and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Bath re-enamelling in Penton Corner without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and several chips and rust patches.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Questions from Penton Corner
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Hampshire.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
