About our bath re-enamelling in Poulner
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We’re frequently asked to fix a roll-top that’s seen better days and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Poulner
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why Poulner clients choose us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- A fixed quote before you book
- One visit for most repairs
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Common questions in Poulner
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Poulner and the rest of Hampshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Poulner
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Stains that won’t shift
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Comparing quotes
- What happens if they find more damage
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Have chips seen to early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Never use suction bath mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What bath re-enamelling costs

- How many areas need work
- The material
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
