Bath re-enamelling for Gun Hill homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Gun Hill

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

FAQs for Gun Hill

Do you cover the entire of East Sussex?

Everywhere in the UK, Gun Hill included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What information do you need?

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

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Repair or replace in Gun Hill?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gun Hill

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What affects the price in Gun Hill

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
