Bath re-enamelling in Dragons Green, done in place
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coloured bath you want in white, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
In a village or hamlet like Dragons Green, homes are often older cottages, farmhouses and barn conversions. Many have heavy cast iron baths or baths in awkward spots, and getting a bath out along a lane or up narrow stairs is hard work. Bath re-enamelling in place avoids all of that.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Questions from Dragons Green
My house in Dragons Green is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?
Frequently, yes: original pieces are typically worth keeping. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
Do you cover villages like Dragons Green?
Yes, villages and hamlets are part of our area, with the same prices as anywhere else.
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.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, tidy-up included. For a rural address like Dragons Green, we plan the journey in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the bath re-enamelling comes with us in one trip.
- 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 day after.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space clear if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
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’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Landlord and trade work in Dragons Green
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in West Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Should you replace it?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day. Older homes around Dragons Green may have sizes and fittings that new pieces don’t match. Repairing avoids those problems.
Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
