When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
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.
What affects the price in Ide Hill
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Ide Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Ide Hill?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Common reasons people in Ide Hill contact us include:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Wear marks under the taps
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Ide Hill
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
