Bath re-enamelling in Northease

Bath re-enamelling in Northease without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We are often asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and several chips and rust patches, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Northease as everywhere else we work.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we’re called out for in Northease

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Before booking anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Northease

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Northease?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across East Sussex.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Northease, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Northease

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. 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.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building 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.
