Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Rye Harbour, East Sussex
Bath re-enamelling for Rye Harbour, without a refit. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, then book a visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Repair dripping taps early
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Repairing versus replacing in Rye Harbour
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Replacement in Rye Harbour means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.
Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Advice
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Rye Harbour
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
