Questions from Lower Dicker
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do you work in Lower Dicker?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Lower Dicker and the rest of East Sussex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Repairing versus replacing in Lower Dicker
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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Common problems we fix in Lower Dicker
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Stains that won’t shift
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
Before booking anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find more damage
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
