Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Bury, West Sussex
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing at your home in Bury, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
About our bath re-enamelling in Bury
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about chips and rust in more than one place and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bury
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bury use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Common questions in Bury
Which areas do you work in?
All of West Sussex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Bury?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
