Bath re-enamelling in Hanscombe End, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

For landlords and businesses
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.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
What affects the price in Hanscombe End
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hanscombe End. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Questions from Hanscombe End
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you work in Hanscombe End?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Hanscombe End from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Hanscombe End?
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Lots of chips and rust spots

Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
