About our bath re-enamelling in Soberton Heath
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and stains that won’t shift, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Soberton Heath. The price comes down to:

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Soberton Heath
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths

Landlords, agents and businesses in Soberton Heath
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
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.
