How we handle bath re-enamelling in Elsted

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include several chips and rust patches and a coloured bath you want in white, in Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Elsted

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

If you manage property in Elsted, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

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

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Elsted

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Elsted: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Do you come to Elsted?

We do. We send a technician to Elsted for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Elsted?

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Elsted

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Elsted. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
