Bath re-enamelling for Charlwood homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Charlwood

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are worn patches where water runs and sits and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Questions from Charlwood

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

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.

Should you replace it?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A coloured bath you want in white

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays

  • Cast iron baths

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
