Bath re-enamelling in Ticehurst

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

About our bath re-enamelling in Ticehurst

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 do not cut corners on it. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are several chips and rust patches and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Common problems we fix in Ticehurst

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ticehurst

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Ticehurst?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TN5 postcode.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
