What affects the price in Poynings
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Poynings. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Poynings
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can normally put it right, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths alike.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Common questions in Poynings
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you work in Poynings?
We do. Technicians travel to Poynings from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, and the outside can be refinished too.
Landlord and trade work in Poynings
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When to call us in Poynings
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
