Bath re-enamelling for High Salvington homes

Bath re-enamelling in High Salvington without replacing anything

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and chips and rust in more than one place, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

Materials we repair

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

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in High Salvington

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including High Salvington. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for High Salvington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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.
