About our bath re-enamelling in Southover
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are worn patches where water runs and sits and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Common questions in Southover
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Southover is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Southover.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Common problems we fix in Southover
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Wear marks under the taps
- Stains that will not shift
Comparing quotes
- Who will actually do the work
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
