Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Temple Ewell
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, 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.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Temple Ewell?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
When to call us in Temple Ewell
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Stains that won’t shift
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who turns up on the day
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What else we do in Temple Ewell
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
If you are in Temple Ewell and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
