Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

When to call us in Rusper

Enamel does not fail overnight. 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:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Wear marks under the taps

Before you book anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Rusper?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why Rusper customers choose us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

See our full price list and bath cost comparison.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Repair dripping taps early

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

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.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Rusper

What do you need from me?

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

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rusper use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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 photos.
