Trusted bath re-enamelling in Banstead

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Bath re-enamelling in Banstead without replacing anything

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We are often asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and chips and rust in more than one place, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairing versus replacing in Banstead

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. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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.

Why Banstead customers choose us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

FAQs for Banstead

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
