Bath re-enamelling near Tortington

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Tortington

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and lots of chips and rust spots.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tortington as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from pictures so you do not 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Questions from Tortington

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

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

Repair or replace in Tortington?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
