Trusted bath re-enamelling in Steep

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Bath re-enamelling in Steep without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and staining under the taps and around the waste, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What affects the price in Steep

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Steep. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace in Steep?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise 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.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Have chips seen to early

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Common problems we fix in Steep

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Stains that won’t shift

Before you book anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

Steep questions

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Hampshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
