Bath re-enamelling in Bentworth, done in place

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We’re frequently asked to fix a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coloured bath you want in white, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bentworth as everywhere else we work.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take most of the day.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Bentworth, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Repair or replace in Bentworth?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • The material

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Bentworth

Questions from Bentworth

Will there be fumes?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Will the new finish last?

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.
