Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Etchingham
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
About our bath re-enamelling in Etchingham
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about wear marks under the taps and chips and rust in more than one place.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Etchingham
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store bottles off the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Etchingham. The price depends on:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Etchingham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Most clients in Etchingham get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
