About our bath re-enamelling in Outwood
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and several chips and rust patches.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Outwood as everywhere else we work.

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Repair or replace in Outwood?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Landlord and trade work in Outwood
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

FAQs for Outwood
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Outwood and the rest of Surrey. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
