Bath re-enamelling in Shere, done in place

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coloured bath you want in white.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Shere as everywhere else we work.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Shere?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What prep work is covered
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Shere

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Shere: your questions answered

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How long is the bath unusable?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Shere?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Do you cover Shere?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Shere and the rest of Surrey. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Repair dripping taps early

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.
