Bath re-enamelling in Pyecombe without replacing anything

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you’re dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we’re called out for in Pyecombe

Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Wear marks under the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Choosing a repair company

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Questions from Pyecombe

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Should you replace it?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Work done at your home or business

Landlord and trade work in Pyecombe

For anyone letting property in or around Pyecombe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
