Bath re-enamelling for Whyteleafe homes

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Bath re-enamelling in Whyteleafe without replacing anything

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Whyteleafe?

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Stains that will not shift
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Wear marks under the taps

Before you book anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • How soon you can use it again

  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

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

Landlord and trade work in Whyteleafe

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Whyteleafe

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you work in Whyteleafe?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Whyteleafe and the rest of Surrey. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
