Bath re-enamelling at your home in Abingworth
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

Abingworth: your questions answered
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across West Sussex.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
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.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Abingworth. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common problems we fix in Abingworth
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Wear marks under the taps
