How we handle bath re-enamelling in Charlton
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Typical jobs include worn patches where water runs and sits and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

- Access to the area

- How many areas need work

Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Charlton

Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Should you replace it?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Charlton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

- Stains that will not shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Charlton questions
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Charlton?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Have chips seen to early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps quickly
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
