Bath re-enamelling in Jacobs Well, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and wear marks under the taps.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Jacobs Well and across Surrey.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Landlord and trade work in Jacobs Well
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Jacobs Well use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Repair or replace in Jacobs Well?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- 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 next day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
