Bath re-enamelling in East Saltdean, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
East Saltdean questions
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Common problems we fix in East Saltdean
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Wear marks under the taps
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
