About our bath re-enamelling in Rye
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are an old resurfacing that’s failing and worn patches where water runs and sits.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Repairing versus replacing in Rye
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- Everything repaired in place
- Colour mixed on the day to match

- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What we’re called out for in Rye
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes most of the day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Rye questions
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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.
