Book bath re-enamelling in Netteswell

Why repair rather than replace?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

About our bath re-enamelling in Netteswell

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Repair dripping taps early

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

What we are called out for in Netteswell

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What affects the price in Netteswell

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common questions in Netteswell

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do you come to Netteswell?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Netteswell from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

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

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Will the new finish last?

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

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
