Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in St Leonards
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s a peeling or bubbling previous coating and stains that won’t shift, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

FAQs for St Leonards
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Do you cover the entire of East Sussex?
Across the UK, so St Leonards is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath split right through the body

Do you need bath re-enamelling in St Leonards?
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Wear marks under the taps
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Repair or replace in St Leonards?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- A fixed quote before booking
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
