Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Never use suction bath mats

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Bath re-enamelling in Irons Bottom, done in place

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and chips and rust in more than one place.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Irons Bottom questions

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Surrey.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Common problems we fix in Irons Bottom

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Before booking anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Irons Bottom

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repair or replace in Irons Bottom?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why Irons Bottom customers choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour-matched on site

Take a look at our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Irons Bottom, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
