Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

About our bath re-enamelling in Totton
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We’re frequently asked to fix enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and wear marks under the taps, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Totton
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Totton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths

What your bath is made of matters
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.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Questions from Totton
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
