Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Selborne, Hampshire
Problem with your bath in Selborne? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Selborne
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. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and chips and rust in more than one place, across basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Selborne, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a full day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Advice
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Selborne
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Selborne included. Travel is included in the price.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What we are called out for in Selborne
Often the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
Look out for any of the following:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- Who will actually do the work
Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: 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. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
