Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Upper Hartfield, East Sussex
Bath re-enamelling across Upper Hartfield and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Resurfacing from £350

- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price

Advice
Bath re-enamelling in Upper Hartfield, done in place
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. If you are dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath that is rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Upper Hartfield
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Upper Hartfield: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
