About our bath re-enamelling in Smallfield

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. If you’re dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and chips and rust in more than one place, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Smallfield

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Smallfield. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One visit for most repairs

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Questions from Smallfield

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Smallfield.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Do you work in Smallfield?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Smallfield and the rest of Surrey. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Smallfield?

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Common reasons people in Smallfield contact us are:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coloured bath you want in white

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
