Bath re-enamelling in East Ashling

Bath re-enamelling in East Ashling, done in place

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help.

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

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for East Ashling. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No extra charge for your area

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

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

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

When to call us in East Ashling

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A coloured bath you want in white

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled

Our hiring checklist

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for East Ashling. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We do not add 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.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

East Ashling: your questions answered

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you cover the entire of West Sussex?

The whole UK, including all of West Sussex. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in East Ashling.

Landlord and trade work in East Ashling

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in East Ashling, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
