Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Godstone. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Godstone. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

About our bath re-enamelling in Godstone
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey.

- Holes rusted through the metal
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Have chips seen to early
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Common questions in Godstone
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Godstone. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Godstone?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a full day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
