Trusted bath re-enamelling in Aldingbourne

Bath re-enamelling in Aldingbourne without replacing anything

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Typical jobs include worn patches where water runs and sits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Aldingbourne and across West Sussex.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Questions from Aldingbourne

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

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

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Aldingbourne. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Aldingbourne. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • One price list for the entire UK

When to call us in Aldingbourne

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
