What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Landlords, agents and businesses in South Merstham
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Merstham use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Questions from South Merstham
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including South Merstham and the rest of Surrey. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Surrey.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to South Merstham. The price depends on:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. 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.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One visit for most repairs

When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
