Trusted bath re-enamelling in Tadley

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Tadley

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for staining under the taps and around the waste and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hampshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we are called out for in Tadley

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Before booking anyone

  • How to care for the finish
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Tadley

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Repairing versus replacing in Tadley

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Tadley

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Do you cover the entire of Hampshire?

Across the UK, and that includes Tadley. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Tadley.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
