Vines Cross questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Bath re-enamelling in Vines Cross without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

Advice
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Store bottles off the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What affects the price in Vines Cross
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Vines Cross. The price comes down to:

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
