Bath re-enamelling in Burgess Hill

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Burgess Hill

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you’re in Burgess Hill and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

FAQs for Burgess Hill

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Burgess Hill is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath that is rusted through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Burgess Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Common problems we fix in Burgess Hill

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

  • What prep work is covered
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
