Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Romsey

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Romsey.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Bath re-enamelling in Romsey without replacing anything

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and lots of chips and rust spots.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Should you replace it?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Take a look at our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Romsey as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

When to call us in Romsey

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A bath split right through the body
