Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Hove, Brighton and Hove
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing at your home in Hove, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Wear marks under the taps
- A coating lifting around the plughole
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Bath re-enamelling in Hove, done in place
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

- Victorian roll-tops

How the visit works

- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hove
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What affects the price in Hove
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
If you are in Hove and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before you book
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One visit for most repairs
