Trusted bath re-enamelling in Tangley

Bath re-enamelling in Tangley without replacing anything

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Tangley: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Hampshire.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

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

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SP11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No extra charge for your area

Common problems we fix in Tangley

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Before booking anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Tangley
