Elmbridge Village questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Do you work in Elmbridge Village?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Elmbridge Village. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Surrey.
Bath re-enamelling in Elmbridge Village, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. If you are dealing with stains that won’t shift and thin, worn enamel in places, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Elmbridge Village. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your GU6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we are called out for in Elmbridge Village
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
Common reasons people in Elmbridge Village contact us include:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if they find more damage
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repair or replace in Elmbridge Village?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Prices start from £350. 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
