Bath re-enamelling for Rowfant homes

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area
  • A fixed quote before you book

About our bath re-enamelling in Rowfant

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can usually put it right.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Rowfant and across West Sussex.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Questions from Rowfant

Are there extra charges for Rowfant?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Common problems we fix in Rowfant

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

  • What prep work is covered
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Rowfant. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

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

  • Natural light rather than flash

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rowfant use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  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. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
