Need bath re-enamelling in West Horsley?

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Bath re-enamelling in West Horsley without replacing anything

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Repair dripping taps early

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in West Horsley?

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

What we cannot put right

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

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
