Bath re-enamelling near Russ Hill

FAQs for Russ Hill

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Russ Hill

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We are frequently asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and wear marks under the taps, in pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Russ Hill as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Store bottles off the bath

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

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

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take most of the day.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Materials we work on in Russ Hill

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Russ Hill?

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What affects the price in Russ Hill

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

We do not add 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.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

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