Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
About our bath re-enamelling in Shalford
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. 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.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for Shalford
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Shalford and the rest of Surrey. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Shalford?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
The process
We turn up when we said we would 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.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shalford
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
What we’re called out for in Shalford
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Thin, worn enamel in places
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if they find more damage
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
