Bath re-enamelling in Belmont, done in place

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you are dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can usually put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

When to call us in Belmont

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice

Should you replace it?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Common questions in Belmont

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
