Trusted bath re-enamelling in Sarisbury

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Sarisbury. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Bath re-enamelling in Sarisbury, done in place

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Typical jobs include a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coloured bath you want in white, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

If you manage property in Sarisbury, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

When to call us in Sarisbury

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Before you book anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

Sarisbury questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Do you cover Sarisbury?

We do. We send a technician to Sarisbury for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a full day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SO31 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
