Bath re-enamelling in Heathfield

Bath re-enamelling in Heathfield, done in place

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are stains that won’t shift and chips and rust in more than one place.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Work for landlords and builders

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

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Common questions in Heathfield

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

Everywhere in the UK, Heathfield included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

When to call us in Heathfield

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

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.
