Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Compton, West Sussex
Our repair technicians come to Compton for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Compton
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about thin, worn enamel in places and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a full day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When to call us in Compton
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Stains that won’t shift
- Wear marks under the taps
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Comparing quotes
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the room is protected while they work
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Compton: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
