Bath re-enamelling in Eastbourne without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are chips and rust in more than one place and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

- Steel that has corroded right through

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Eastbourne?
Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Eastbourne clients choose us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
