About our bath re-enamelling in Viables
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and worn patches where water runs and sits, across basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Have chips seen to early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

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, and the outside can be refinished too.
Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What affects the price in Viables
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
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.
When to call us in Viables
Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Before you book anyone
- How your room will be protected
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath that is rusted through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Viables questions
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Viables?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Do you cover the entire of Hampshire?
The entire UK, including all of Hampshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
