Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Bath re-enamelling in Lindfield without replacing anything
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and chips and rust in more than one place.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Questions from Lindfield
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Lindfield?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you cover Lindfield?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Lindfield. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Repair or replace in Lindfield?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Lindfield. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What else we do in Lindfield
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Common problems we fix in Lindfield
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Before you book anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What prep work is covered
- How long it needs to cure
