Bath re-enamelling in Old Heathfield, done in place
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and a coloured bath you want in white, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Typically one visit, start to finish

Common questions in Old Heathfield
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
What affects the price in Old Heathfield
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TN21 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
