Bath re-enamelling in Rusher's Cross, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and staining under the taps and around the waste, in pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Repairing versus replacing in Rusher's Cross
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us

What else we do in Rusher's Cross
Common problems we fix in Rusher's Cross
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Stains that won’t shift
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Aftercare advice
- Who turns up on the day
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Have chips seen to early
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
What affects the price in Rusher's Cross
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Rusher's Cross. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Rusher's Cross: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of East Sussex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Rusher's Cross?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
