Bath re-enamelling for Boxgrove homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Bath re-enamelling in Boxgrove without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about thin, worn enamel in places and lots of chips and rust spots.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works

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. The job generally runs to most of the day, tidy-up included.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

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

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

If you manage property in Boxgrove, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Materials we work on in Boxgrove

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

Common problems we fix in Boxgrove

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What to look for in a quote

Boxgrove questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
