Bath re-enamelling at your home in Pevensey
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a roll-top that’s seen better days, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Pevensey, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Should you replace it?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Pevensey
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
Do you cover Pevensey?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Pevensey. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Pevensey. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
