About our bath re-enamelling in Test Valley
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are lots of chips and rust spots and worn patches where water runs and sits.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Questions from Test Valley
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Test Valley, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Test Valley
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Thin, worn enamel in places

What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
