What we are called out for in Old Malden

Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Bath re-enamelling in Old Malden without replacing anything

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help, whatever the material.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  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 following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Old Malden. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Old Malden. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your KT19 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Old Malden

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

Old Malden: your questions answered

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will the bath be moved?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.

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 our work is guaranteed for a year.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Give the finish its full curing time before using the 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. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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 a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A fixed quote before you book
