Trusted bath re-enamelling in Pitland Street

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath split right through the body

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Pitland Street. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pitland Street: your questions answered

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Surrey.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Repairing versus replacing in Pitland Street

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No extra charge for your area

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Pitland Street?

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How to care for the finish

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
