Bath re-enamelling for Chertsey homes

Bath re-enamelling in Chertsey, done in place

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Repairing versus replacing in Chertsey

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chertsey use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

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 is easier on the people living there.

What affects the price in Chertsey

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Chertsey

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths

Questions from Chertsey

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Chertsey. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Are there extra charges for Chertsey?

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

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. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
