Bath re-enamelling in Patcham without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We are often asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a coating lifting around the plughole, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Patcham: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you cover the entire of Brighton and Hove?
We work UK-wide, so Patcham is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Patcham
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Patcham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Patcham. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
