Bath re-enamelling at your home in Falmer
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price

Landlords, agents and businesses in Falmer
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Falmer

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What affects the price in Falmer
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Falmer. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Falmer, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Falmer?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Several chips and rust patches
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Falmer: your questions answered
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your BN1 postcode.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
