Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Rake, Hampshire
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing at your home in Rake, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Stains that will not shift
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Rake
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can normally put it right.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Common problems we fix in Rake
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

FAQs for Rake
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Hampshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Landlord and trade work in Rake
If you manage property in Rake, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. 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 can get on with other things while we’re there.
- 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.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry
