Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Robertsbridge, East Sussex
Problem with your bath in Robertsbridge? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Have chips seen to early
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Robertsbridge
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath split right through the body
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Robertsbridge questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
