Bath re-enamelling for Bosham Hoe homes

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Bath re-enamelling in Bosham Hoe without replacing anything

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can usually put it right.

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

When to call us in Bosham Hoe

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in West Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Bosham Hoe

Do you work in Bosham Hoe?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Bosham Hoe and the rest of West Sussex. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, tidy-up included.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Bosham Hoe. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

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.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
