Bath re-enamelling in Sayers Common without replacing anything

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you’re dealing with several chips and rust patches and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Sayers Common, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

What affects the price in Sayers Common

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Sayers Common. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

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

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Sayers Common questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

The whole UK, including all of West Sussex. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

How do I book?

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
