How we handle bath re-enamelling in Amberley

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and chips and rust in more than one place, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  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

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Landlord and trade work in Amberley

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that 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.

Questions from Amberley

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

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.

Do you charge for travel?

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

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

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Amberley?

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

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Amberley. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

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

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
