Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in High Cross, East Sussex
Problem with your bath in High Cross? We put it right where it is, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in High Cross
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and worn patches where water runs and sits, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlord and trade work in High Cross
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
High Cross: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
