Bath re-enamelling for Ockley homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Ockley

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are staining under the taps and around the waste and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we’re called out for in Ockley

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.

Common reasons people in Ockley contact us are:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Wear marks under the taps

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, tidy-up included.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Ockley

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Surrey and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common questions in Ockley

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Repair dripping taps early

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Should you replace it?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ockley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Ockley clients choose us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
