What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

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

What we work on

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

Bath re-enamelling at your home in East Grimstead

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and wear marks under the taps, we can help, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in East Grimstead

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

If you manage property in East Grimstead, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

When to call us in East Grimstead

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What preparation is included
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in East Grimstead

Will the new finish last?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Does the bath have to be removed?

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

Will there be fumes?

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

Will you leave a mess?

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

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including East Grimstead and the rest of Wiltshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

  • One price list for the entire UK

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

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

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
