Bath re-enamelling near Tangmere

FAQs for Tangmere

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Tangmere and the rest of West Sussex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Tangmere

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. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and thin, worn enamel in places.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Tangmere and across West Sussex.

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A metal bath with a through crack

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

Materials we work on in Tangmere

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole bath

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

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.

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

If you manage property in Tangmere, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
