Need bath re-enamelling in Seaford?

Should you replace it?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Bath re-enamelling in Seaford without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and wear marks under the taps, we can help, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

FAQs for Seaford

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Are you accredited?

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

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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 several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

What affects the price in Seaford

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Seaford?

Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

Before you book anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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