Bath re-enamelling in Stanford Common without replacing anything

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and staining under the taps and around the waste.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stanford Common

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Surrey and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Should you replace it?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One visit for most repairs

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Stanford Common

Do you cover Stanford Common?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Stanford Common and the rest of Surrey. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
