Bath re-enamelling in Climping without replacing anything

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Climping questions

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Climping?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

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

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Climping

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

10 questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

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.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

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

What a repair can’t fix

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
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

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.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Climping

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.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in West Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
