Bath re-enamelling in Bevendean, done in place
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are worn patches where water runs and sits and staining under the taps and around the waste.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common problems we fix in Bevendean
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What to look for in a quote

- Who turns up on the day

- How long it needs to cure
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Bevendean: your questions answered
Do you cover the whole of Brighton and Hove?
The entire UK, including all of Brighton and Hove. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlord and trade work in Bevendean
If you manage property in Bevendean, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
