Trusted bath re-enamelling in Albury

Bath re-enamelling in Albury, done in place

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and thin, worn enamel in places, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Repair or replace in Albury?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Albury?

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What affects the price in Albury

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Albury. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Albury

How long does re-enamelling take?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Surrey.

How soon can you come?
