Bath re-enamelling near South Godstone

Bath re-enamelling in South Godstone without replacing anything

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coating lifting around the plughole, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Choosing a repair company

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

South Godstone questions

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you cover South Godstone?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to South Godstone and the rest of Surrey. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, South Godstone included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Landlord and trade work in South Godstone

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Repairing versus replacing in South Godstone

Replacing the 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 with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why South Godstone customers choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in South Godstone

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
