Bath re-enamelling in Alfriston, done in place

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Repair or replace in Alfriston?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs

Read our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alfriston as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Alfriston

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

Common questions in Alfriston

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Are you accredited?

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

Are there extra charges for Alfriston?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you cover Alfriston?

We do. We send a technician to Alfriston for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Alfriston?

Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
