Bath Re-enamelling in Sandown
Bath re-enamelling across Sandown and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Bath re-enamelling in Sandown, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We’re often asked to fix a bath in a colour that no longer suits and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Sandown
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Clients generally contact us about:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Wear marks under the taps
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Stains that won’t shift
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What aftercare is recommended
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What else we do in Sandown
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Sandown
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
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.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What affects the price in Sandown
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
If you’re in Sandown and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
