Bath re-enamelling in Heath Common

Landlord and trade work in Heath Common

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Heath Common

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Heath Common and across West Sussex.

Should you replace it?

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. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Heath Common. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  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 until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
