Bath re-enamelling at your home in Isfield

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and wear marks under the taps, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath split right through the body

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

Materials we work on in Isfield

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

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

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

FAQs for Isfield

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you cover Isfield?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Isfield. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
