Bath re-enamelling in Ashtead

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ashtead

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We are often asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and chips and rust in more than one place, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Common questions in Ashtead

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Are there extra charges for Ashtead?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Ashtead, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from pictures so you don’t 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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 photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
