Bath re-enamelling in Upper Dicker, done in place
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Upper Dicker
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Upper Dicker and the rest of East Sussex. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
When to call us in Upper Dicker
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How long it needs to cure
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
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.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
