Bath re-enamelling in Fontwell, done in place

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are stains that won’t shift and a coloured bath you want in white.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Fontwell

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work

Fontwell: your questions answered

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will the new finish last?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Fontwell.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fontwell

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

When to call us in Fontwell

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the colour is matched
