Do you need bath re-enamelling in Sprat's Down?

You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Sprat's Down
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for staining under the taps and around the waste and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Sprat's Down
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sprat's Down as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Can I fix it myself?

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
