What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hindhead
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hindhead
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Landlord and trade work in Hindhead
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Hindhead
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
