Bath re-enamelling at your home in Burpham

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and several chips and rust patches.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Surrey and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Burpham: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

All of Surrey, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it messy?

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

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Burpham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Take a look at our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What we are called out for in Burpham

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
