How the visit works

- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.
Before we arrive

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Lewes
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and stains that won’t shift, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Lewes. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Common questions in Lewes
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Are there extra charges for Lewes?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lewes
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lewes use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
