Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
About our bath re-enamelling in Hale Green
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you are dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can typically put it right, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hale Green

The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hale Green
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repair or replace in Hale Green?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hale Green
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
