Landlords, agents and businesses in Fittleworth

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

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

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Fittleworth?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Fittleworth. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

FAQs for Fittleworth

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

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.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
