Bath Re-enamelling in Merrow
Bath re-enamelling across Merrow and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Use 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 just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Bath re-enamelling in Merrow, done in place
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and a coloured bath you want in white, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
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.
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.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Merrow questions
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you cover the entire of Surrey?
All of Surrey, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Merrow. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Same prices wherever you are
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Common problems we fix in Merrow
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Stains that won’t shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Before you book anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How to care for the finish
