It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Bath re-enamelling in South Chailey, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a coating lifting around the plughole and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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.
Repairing versus replacing in South Chailey
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. 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.
Why South Chailey customers choose us
- Work done at your home or business
- One visit for most repairs
- A fixed quote before you book
- We leave the room as we found it

Common questions in South Chailey
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your BN8 postcode.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
