About our bath re-enamelling in Chelsham

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We’re frequently asked to fix several chips and rust patches and an outdated colour you’d like to change, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Chelsham as everywhere else we work.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Chelsham?

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

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Chelsham

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole bath

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Questions from Chelsham

Are there extra charges for Chelsham?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Surrey and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

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.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
