Repairing versus replacing in St Leonards
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Everything repaired in place
- Most jobs done in one visit
- No extra charge for your area
Take a look at our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Store bottles off the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Questions from St Leonards
Are there extra charges for St Leonards?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Common problems we fix in St Leonards
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Thin, worn enamel in places
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
- How soon you can use it again

What else we do in St Leonards
What affects the price in St Leonards
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
