Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
About our bath re-enamelling in Waltham Chase
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. We’re often asked to fix a bath in a colour that no longer suits and worn patches where water runs and sits, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

When to call us in Waltham Chase
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
Common reasons people in Waltham Chase contact us include:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Several chips and rust patches
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An old resurfacing that is failing
Before you book anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What preparation is included
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can

What affects the price in Waltham Chase
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
