Trusted bath re-enamelling in Hassocks

Bath re-enamelling in Hassocks without replacing anything

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. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and several chips and rust patches.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

If you manage property in Hassocks, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Hassocks?

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How to care for the finish
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

10 questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hassocks. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace in Hassocks?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Hassocks clients choose us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Take a look at our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

FAQs for Hassocks

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
