Bath re-enamelling in Abbotsford, done in place

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for chips and rust in more than one place and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in West Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the 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 room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Abbotsford. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Abbotsford

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Abbotsford?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your RH15 postcode.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Do you work in Abbotsford?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Abbotsford from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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.
