What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the area is dry

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Winchester
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We are frequently asked to fix lots of chips and rust spots and a roll-top that’s seen better days, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Repair dripping taps early
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Questions from Winchester
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
What affects the price in Winchester
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
