What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, tidy-up included.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

About our bath re-enamelling in Rushlake Green

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about several chips and rust patches and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Rushlake Green questions

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Rushlake Green included. Travel is included in the price.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Is my repair covered?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Rushlake Green?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Stains that will not shift
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Before you book anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Rushlake Green

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
