How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hollingdean
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Wear marks under the taps
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Questions from Hollingdean
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What affects the price in Hollingdean
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Hollingdean. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
