Trusted bath re-enamelling in Furnace Green

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Bath re-enamelling in Furnace Green, done in place

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you’re dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and chips and rust in more than one place, we can usually put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Common problems we fix in Furnace Green

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Choosing a repair company

Furnace Green questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you cover the entire of West Sussex?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Furnace Green?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you cover Furnace Green?

We do. Technicians travel to Furnace Green from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

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 bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Furnace Green. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

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

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a full day. The room is left tidy.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  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. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Furnace Green

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

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
