Bath re-enamelling near Barcombe Cross

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

About our bath re-enamelling in Barcombe Cross

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Typical jobs include an old resurfacing that’s failing and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Barcombe Cross and across East Sussex.

Should you replace it?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything

FAQs for Barcombe Cross

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Barcombe Cross?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • The material, if you know it

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Barcombe Cross, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Landlord and trade work in Barcombe Cross

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.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barcombe Cross as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

When to call us in Barcombe Cross

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on 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 following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
