Repairing versus replacing in Plumpton

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Bath re-enamelling in Plumpton, done in place

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are lots of chips and rust spots and a coating lifting around the plughole.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Plumpton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

What affects the price in Plumpton

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Plumpton. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CA11 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a full day.

  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 day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

When to call us in Plumpton

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

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
