How we handle bath re-enamelling in Tandridge

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are wear marks under the taps and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Tandridge. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole bath

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Tandridge

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Common questions in Tandridge

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Are there extra charges for Tandridge?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will there be fumes?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you come to Tandridge?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Tandridge for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
