DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Shalden
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can usually put it right, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Common questions in Shalden
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Shalden. Prices don’t change with location.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
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.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you work in Shalden?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Shalden from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Common problems we fix in Shalden
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A roll-top that is seen better days
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who will actually do the work
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Never use suction bath mats
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
