About our bath re-enamelling in Abbotswood
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Abbotswood: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Abbotswood and the rest of Surrey. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your GU1 postcode.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- 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
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
