FAQs for Southcourt
Do you cover Southcourt?
We do. We send a technician to Southcourt for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your HP21 postcode.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Southcourt
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We are frequently asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath that’s rusted through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Repair or replace in Southcourt?

Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Southcourt. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Southcourt, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
When to call us in Southcourt
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: 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 bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- When it can be used again
