Book bath re-enamelling in Worlds End

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

Bath re-enamelling in Worlds End without replacing anything

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and worn patches where water runs and sits, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Worlds End and across Hampshire.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

For a price in Worlds End, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Landlord and trade work in Worlds End

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What we are called out for in Worlds End

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How changes to the job are handled

Worlds End questions

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
