Bath re-enamelling for Shoreham homes

Shoreham questions

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Are there extra charges for Shoreham?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you work in Shoreham?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Shoreham and the rest of Kent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Bath re-enamelling in Shoreham, done in place

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and chips and rust in more than one place, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shoreham

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Shoreham?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Wear marks under the taps

Comparing quotes

  • How the colour is matched
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • 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 Shoreham

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

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
