Bath re-enamelling in Surbiton without replacing anything

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you’re dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can usually put it right.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Surbiton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry

Landlords, agents and businesses in Surbiton

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

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

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Surbiton

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Surbiton?

Often the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Surbiton

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
