Bath re-enamelling at your home in Dorking
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. If you are dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Dorking and across Surrey.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Dorking
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your RH4 postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
If you’re in Dorking and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Landlord and trade work in Dorking
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Surrey and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repairing versus replacing in Dorking
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One visit for most repairs
- Everything repaired in place
- One price list for the entire UK

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
