About our bath re-enamelling in Turners Hill

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about chips and rust in more than one place and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Turners Hill

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Turners Hill

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Repair or replace in Turners Hill?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

What affects the price in Turners Hill

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you are in Turners Hill and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

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

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

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.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
