How we handle bath re-enamelling in Sandhurst

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and lots of chips and rust spots.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your GL2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole bath

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Sandhurst

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
