Bath re-enamelling for Chaldon homes

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Chaldon. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: 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 pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Chaldon

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Chaldon and across Surrey.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Common problems we fix in Chaldon

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Stains that won’t shift

Before you book anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Chaldon

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

If you manage property in Chaldon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Respect the curing time we give you

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
