Bath re-enamelling near Emsworth

Bath re-enamelling in Emsworth, done in place

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. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can typically put it right.

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Emsworth questions

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.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Emsworth

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Emsworth?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
