How we handle bath re-enamelling in Binsted
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What affects the price in Binsted
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Binsted
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you work in Binsted?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Binsted and the rest of West Sussex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Are there extra charges for Binsted?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Binsted. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
