Bath re-enamelling in Rye Foreign, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and wear marks under the taps, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colour-matched on site
- No extra charge for your area
See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath split right through the body
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Questions from Rye Foreign
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Do you cover the entire of East Sussex?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Rye Foreign
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
