Trusted bath re-enamelling in Lickfold

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Lickfold, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Bath re-enamelling in Lickfold without replacing anything

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Lickfold and across West Sussex.

When to call us in Lickfold

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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 the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

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 price the job without visiting.

Questions from Lickfold

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Lickfold and the rest of West Sussex. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will the bath be moved?

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

Will it make a mess?

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

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Repairing versus replacing in Lickfold

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Work done at your home or business
