How we handle bath re-enamelling in Waterlooville

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and stains that won’t shift, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take most of the day.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Waterlooville questions

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

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths, ready the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
