Bath re-enamelling near Lower Bourne

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Lower Bourne

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. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and thin, worn enamel in places, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Lower Bourne: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

How long does re-enamelling take?

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

Are there extra charges for Lower Bourne?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you cover the whole of Surrey?

We cover the whole UK, including Lower Bourne and the rest of Surrey. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Lower Bourne. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Why repair rather than replace?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A fixed quote before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Lower Bourne, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
