What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Barcombe
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Barcombe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
What your bath is made of matters
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 what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- 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.
Barcombe questions
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.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Have chips seen to early
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Store bottles off the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
