How bath re-enamelling works in East Sussex

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a coating lifting around the plughole.

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day.

We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Prices in East Sussex

Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

What affects the price in East Sussex

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
How hard the colour is to match
How much damage there is
Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A clear, close picture of the problem area
What it’s made of, if you know
A photo taken from further back

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

Thin, worn enamel in places
A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
An old resurfacing that is failing

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Never use suction bath mats

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Questions from East Sussex

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is it messy?

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