Trusted bath re-enamelling in Salehurst

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Salehurst

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are chips and rust in more than one place and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Salehurst

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across East Sussex.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Salehurst?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Salehurst?

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

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.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Never use suction bath mats

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Salehurst as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

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