About our bath re-enamelling in Rotherfield

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We are frequently asked to fix wear marks under the taps and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When to call us in Rotherfield

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

10 questions to ask before you book

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A metal bath with a through crack

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

What we work on

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

Common questions in Rotherfield

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you come to Rotherfield?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Rotherfield. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise 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.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Fixed prices from your photos

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

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 normally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
