Bath re-enamelling in Cousley Wood

About our bath re-enamelling in Cousley Wood

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are chips and rust in more than one place and staining under the taps and around the waste.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should you replace it?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  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

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

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 what we repair.

Landlord and trade work in Cousley Wood

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

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

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What we are called out for in Cousley Wood

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

Before booking anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How your room will be protected
  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again
