Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Doleham
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Bath re-enamelling in Doleham without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We are often asked to fix several chips and rust patches and an outdated colour you’d like to change, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Common questions in Doleham
Do you cover Doleham?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Doleham and the rest of East Sussex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Which areas do you work in?
All of East Sussex, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
Repairing versus replacing in Doleham
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
For anyone letting property in or around Doleham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
