FAQs for Merstham

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you work in Merstham?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Merstham. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Merstham

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Merstham

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Merstham. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Merstham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
