Bath re-enamelling for Battle homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Battle

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include a coloured bath you want in white and stains that won’t shift, across basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Repair or replace in Battle?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place

Common questions in Battle

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Does the bath have to be removed?

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

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Battle and the rest of Powys. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Landlord and trade work in Battle

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Battle?

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether they match the colour on site

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  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. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
