Bath re-enamelling for Shalden Green homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Shalden Green

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you’re dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most customers in Shalden Green get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Advice

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Questions from Shalden Green

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shalden Green

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
