Bath re-enamelling at your home in Coolham

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and a roll-top that’s seen better days, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Coolham, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Repair dripping taps early

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A metal bath with a through crack

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

Materials we work on in Coolham

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths

What affects the price in Coolham

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

If you are in Coolham and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Coolham use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

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.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Coolham and the rest of West Sussex. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

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

Do you work in Coolham?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Coolham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Repair or replace in Coolham?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
