Common questions in Selmeston
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Bath re-enamelling in Selmeston without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We are frequently asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Selmeston and across East Sussex.

What affects the price in Selmeston
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
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.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you’re in Selmeston and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Have chips seen to early
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Selmeston
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

There’s 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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. 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, with nothing added on the day.
