Problem with your bath in Icklesham? We put it right where it is, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Icklesham
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include several chips and rust patches and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Icklesham?
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An old resurfacing that is failing

Repair or replace in Icklesham?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
What you get with us
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We leave the room as we found it
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
