Bath Re-enamelling for Rookley homes
Our technicians come to Rookley for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Stains that won’t shift
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Common problems we fix in Rookley
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is matched
Bath re-enamelling in Rookley, done in place
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. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are stains that won’t shift and a coloured bath you want in white.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Rookley questions
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Isle of Wight.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Landlord and trade work in Rookley
If you manage property in Rookley, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Rookley. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Rookley
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
