Bath re-enamelling in Maidenbower

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Bath re-enamelling in Maidenbower without replacing anything

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. If you’re dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and lots of chips and rust spots, we can normally put it right, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Repairing versus replacing in Maidenbower

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Maidenbower. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Questions from Maidenbower

Do you cover the entire of West Sussex?

Everywhere in the UK, Maidenbower included. Travel is included in the price.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
