Bath re-enamelling in Southwater, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
For a price in Southwater, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
