Bath re-enamelling at your home in Framfield

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Framfield: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

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

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

Do you come to Framfield?

We do. We send a technician to Framfield for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Why repair rather than replace?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One price list for the whole UK

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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 a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Framfield

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, 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 you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
