What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Skippers Hill use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Skippers Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
What affects the price in Skippers Hill
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Skippers Hill. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Skippers Hill
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What areas do you cover?
All of East Sussex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What we are called out for in Skippers Hill
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Several chips and rust patches

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
