Bath Re-enamelling for Guildford homes
Damaged bath in Guildford? We repair it in place, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Guildford
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you’re dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and wear marks under the taps, we can usually put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Guildford
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Before you book anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Guildford. The price comes down to:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Guildford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

What else we do in Guildford
Landlords, agents and businesses in Guildford
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Guildford as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Guildford
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
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 happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Guildford and the rest of Surrey. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
