Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Holbrook, West Sussex
Bath re-enamelling across Holbrook and nearby, usually in one visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Store bottles off the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Bath re-enamelling in Holbrook without replacing anything
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are worn patches where water runs and sits and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Holbrook
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.
How to prepare

- Open a window if you can

Advice
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.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What affects the price in Holbrook
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Holbrook. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Common questions in Holbrook
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your RH12 postcode.
Do you work in Holbrook?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Holbrook. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
