About our bath re-enamelling in Princelett
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a coating lifting around the plughole, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What we are called out for in Princelett
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Princelett
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
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.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Princelett?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you come to Princelett?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Princelett and the rest of Isle of Wight. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Princelett.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
