Bath re-enamelling in East Wittering

About our bath re-enamelling in East Wittering

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

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

FAQs for East Wittering

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across West Sussex.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

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

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PO20 postcode.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
