Bath re-enamelling for Haywards Heath homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Haywards Heath

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What affects the price in Haywards Heath

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send two or three photos using 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

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Common problems we fix in Haywards Heath

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Stains that won’t shift

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How changes to the job are handled

Our hiring checklist

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your RH16 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
