Bath re-enamelling for Northbridge Street homes

Should you replace it?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Northbridge Street

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath in a colour that no longer suits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

FAQs for Northbridge Street

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is my repair covered?

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

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

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

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Northbridge Street

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What preparation is included

  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Northbridge Street

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TN32 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
