Bath re-enamelling in South Holmwood without replacing anything

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you’re dealing with stains that won’t shift and several chips and rust patches, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in South Holmwood

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Stains that will not shift

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Questions from South Holmwood

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Are you accredited?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Surrey.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: 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 quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire bath

We price from photos so you do not 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 will get a fixed figure back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
