Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Budlett's Common, East Sussex
Bath re-enamelling in and around Budlett's Common: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Bath re-enamelling in Budlett's Common, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We are frequently asked to fix several chips and rust patches and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Budlett's Common use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath split right through the body
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from Budlett's Common
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.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Budlett's Common?
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price covers travel
- What preparation is included
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Budlett's Common. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath usually 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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
