Bath re-enamelling in The Chart

Bath re-enamelling at your home in The Chart

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We are often asked to fix an old resurfacing that’s failing and worn patches where water runs and sits, across Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in The Chart and across Surrey.

FAQs for The Chart

Will the bath be moved?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

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.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Should you replace it?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Common problems we fix in The Chart

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Never use suction bath mats

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

What affects the price in The Chart

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for The Chart. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures 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 photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
