Questions from Eastbourne
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Eastbourne
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. If you’re dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can generally put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Most jobs done in one visit
- No extra charge for your area
- We leave the room as we found it

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Eastbourne. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Common problems we fix in Eastbourne
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Stains that will not shift
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What to look for in a quote

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that’s rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
