About our bath re-enamelling in Southington
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you are dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and lots of chips and rust spots, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
FAQs for Southington
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Southington and the rest of Hampshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Southington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Southington
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What preparation is included
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
