Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ropley
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a coating lifting around the plughole and several chips and rust patches.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ropley and across Hampshire.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath split right through the body
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

When to call us in Ropley
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Stains that will not shift
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- 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.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Questions from Ropley
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Repair or replace in Ropley?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
