Bath re-enamelling for Pease Pottage homes

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

About our bath re-enamelling in Pease Pottage

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and staining under the taps and around the waste, in basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What we’re called out for in Pease Pottage

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

  • What prep work is covered
  • How to care for the finish

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

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

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Pease Pottage

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Pease Pottage and the rest of West Sussex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Are there extra charges for Pease Pottage?

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

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Pease Pottage?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Will there be fumes?

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

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 entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Why Pease Pottage clients choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No need to remove anything

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
