How we handle bath re-enamelling in Abinger Hammer
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We’re often asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and a coating lifting around the plughole, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.

- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Repair dripping taps early
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Abinger Hammer
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you cover the whole of Surrey?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
What affects the price in Abinger Hammer
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
