About our bath re-enamelling in Popley
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. If you are dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and several chips and rust patches, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for most of the day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Repairing versus replacing in Popley
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 renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Popley
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you cover Popley?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Popley from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Popley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Never use suction bath mats
- Repair dripping taps early
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
