About our bath re-enamelling in Sopley
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include a bath in a colour that no longer suits and stains that won’t shift, across pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Store bottles off the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
Sopley: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What we’re called out for in Sopley
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Comparing quotes
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How the colour is matched
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sopley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What else we do in Sopley
Repairing versus replacing in Sopley
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Sopley customers choose us
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
If you manage property in Sopley, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
