For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alfold use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Alfold

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A coloured bath you want in white

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. 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.

Why repair rather than replace?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Read our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Questions from Alfold

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you come to Alfold?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Alfold and the rest of Surrey. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your GU6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths
