Bath Re-enamelling in Esher
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Esher, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Bath re-enamelling in Esher, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can typically put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Esher?
Often the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Thin, worn enamel in places

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Esher

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Esher questions
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Esher?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Repair dripping taps early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Esher
If you manage property in Esher, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Should you replace it?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
