About our bath re-enamelling in Cootham
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Repair dripping taps early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repairing versus replacing in Cootham
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
For a price in Cootham, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Common questions in Cootham
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Cootham included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cootham as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
