Common questions in Pains-Hill
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you cover the entire of Surrey?
All of Surrey, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Pains-Hill?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Pains-Hill
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pains-Hill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Pains-Hill, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Should you replace it?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Pains-Hill?
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
What to look for in a quote

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a full day. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Get a quote
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Never use suction bath mats
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
