What affects the price in Ashton Green

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

When to call us in Ashton Green

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ashton Green

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

When can you do it?

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

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Repairs by material

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’s what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
