How we handle bath re-enamelling in Lancing

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a coloured bath you want in white and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a full day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Repair dripping taps early

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

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

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

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Lancing

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Lancing. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repairing versus replacing in Lancing

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Lancing customers choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Questions from Lancing

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do you work in Lancing?

We do. Technicians travel to Lancing from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
