New Malden: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in New Malden?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take most of the day.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- 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.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for New Malden. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Landlord and trade work in New Malden
For anyone letting property in or around New Malden, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
