The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. We’re frequently asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coating lifting around the plughole, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

Box Hill questions
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
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.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Surrey.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Box Hill?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Box Hill
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlord and trade work in Box Hill
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

What else we do in Box Hill
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your KT20 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
