Bath re-enamelling for Lumley homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Lumley

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s wear marks under the taps and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

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 quote.

Common problems we fix in Lumley

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to care for the finish
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we repair

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

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Landlord and trade work in Lumley

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lumley use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Questions from Lumley

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
