Bath re-enamelling in Chidham without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. If you are dealing with a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Chidham: your questions answered
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you cover Chidham?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Chidham and the rest of West Sussex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Chidham. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
Most clients in Chidham get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When to call us in Chidham
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Wear marks under the taps
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- How long it needs to cure
- How changes to the job are handled
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
