Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

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

Bath re-enamelling in Camber, done in place

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for chips and rust in more than one place and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No extra charge for your area

What we are called out for in Camber

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What preparation is included

Common questions in Camber

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Is there a smell?

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

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Camber

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Camber use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
