Bath re-enamelling near Ewell

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ewell use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Bath re-enamelling in Ewell, done in place

We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Ewell. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

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.

Repair or replace in Ewell?

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
