Book bath re-enamelling in Badshot Lea

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

About our bath re-enamelling in Badshot Lea

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you are dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

Landlords, agents and businesses in Badshot Lea

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Badshot Lea use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Repairing versus replacing in Badshot Lea

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What affects the price in Badshot Lea

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Common problems we fix in Badshot Lea

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

10 questions to ask before booking

Questions from Badshot Lea

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will it make a mess?

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

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Surrey.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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