Bath re-enamelling in Compton without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. If you are dealing with several chips and rust patches and stains that won’t shift, we can help, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths alike.
Somewhere as small as Compton, you will find cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings. Many have heavy cast iron baths or baths in awkward spots, and getting a bath out along a lane or up narrow stairs is hard work. Bath re-enamelling in place avoids all of that.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Never use suction bath mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Compton
Can you restore the original baths in an older house in Compton?
Frequently, yes: original pieces are typically worth keeping. Send us pictures and we will tell you what’s possible.
Can you repair baths in a rental near Farncombe station?
Of course: pictures and an address are all we need for a price, and we can arrange access with the tenant if that helps.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you cover the whole of Surrey?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Baths in Compton homes
Landlords with property near Farncombe station (about 1.6 miles south-east) use us between tenancies, so baths are repaired rather than replaced.
Compton is about 3 miles south-west of Guildford, in Surrey. Our technicians come to homes and businesses in Compton and the surrounding area, so you do not need to take anything anywhere. Our technicians cover 395 places across Surrey. We work right across the region, from Compton to London (30 miles away).
All of GU3 is covered for bath re-enamelling, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Streets in the area include The Street, Spiceall and Almsgate, all of which we cover. We also travel to Hurtmore (1 mile south), Binscombe (1 mile south-east), Littleton (1 mile east), Shackleford (2 miles south-west) and Onslow Village (2 miles north-east).

Near you in Compton
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Broadwater School, Pucks Oak Barn and McAlmont Reserves and The Harrow pub, among other places. Compton’s nearest station is Farncombe station, about 1.6 miles south-east. Further afield, we also cover the area around Charterhouse School Museum (1.2 miles south) and Guildford Castle (2.8 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s Farncombe Wood and Frith Hill.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Replacement in Compton means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.
Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Compton customers choose us
- No extra charge for your area
- One visit for most repairs
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Landlord and trade work in Compton
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
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.
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath that is rusted through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes. Somewhere like Compton needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring everything needed for the bath re-enamelling, so there is no second trip.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Compton
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
In the older streets of Compton, around landmarks like Church of St Nicholas, an original cast iron or steel bath is worth keeping, and bath re-enamelling gives it years more use.
