About our bath re-enamelling in Hailsham

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Hailsham questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do you work in Hailsham?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hailsham and the rest of East Sussex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What affects the price in Hailsham

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Landlord and trade work in Hailsham

If you manage property in Hailsham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. 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.
