Bath re-enamelling in West Itchenor without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can normally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for West Itchenor. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Never use suction bath mats
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
