Bath re-enamelling for Bletchingley homes

Bath re-enamelling in Bletchingley without replacing anything

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about lots of chips and rust spots and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

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

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What we are called out for in Bletchingley

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

Choosing a repair company

Bletchingley: your questions answered

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you work in Bletchingley?

We do. We send a technician to Bletchingley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Repair or replace in Bletchingley?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Fixed prices from your photos

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for 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. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
