DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Pevensey Bay
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of East Sussex. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

What we’re called out for in Pevensey Bay
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coating lifting around the plughole

Why repair rather than replace?
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. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, including clearing up.
- 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 on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
