Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Alfold Bars, West Sussex
Bath re-enamelling for Alfold Bars, without a refit. Get a fixed quote from your photos, then book a visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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 pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
About our bath re-enamelling in Alfold Bars
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We are frequently asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Alfold Bars. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry
