About our bath re-enamelling in Barns Green
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you are dealing with wear marks under the taps and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths alike.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

FAQs for Barns Green
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
If you manage property in Barns Green, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What affects the price in Barns Green
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you’re in Barns Green and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Barns Green?
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A coloured bath you want in white
Before booking anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How to look after the finish
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How changes to the job are handled
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
