Bath re-enamelling near Heathfield

Bath re-enamelling in Heathfield, done in place

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We are frequently asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and stains that won’t shift, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Repair or replace in Heathfield?

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How to look after the repair

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

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Steel that has corroded right through

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

Materials we work on in Heathfield

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

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

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Heathfield, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Heathfield: your questions answered

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do you cover Heathfield?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Heathfield. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Heathfield?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your CB22 postcode.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
