Bath re-enamelling at your home in Steel Cross
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and thin, worn enamel in places, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Steel Cross and across East Sussex.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We leave the room as we found it
- No extra charge for your area
- Work done at your home or business

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Steel Cross
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you cover Steel Cross?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Steel Cross and the rest of East Sussex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

For landlords and businesses
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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Steel Cross use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, tidy-up included.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
