Bath re-enamelling in Fishbourne, done in place
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and lots of chips and rust spots.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Fishbourne and across West Sussex.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PO19 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
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. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Fishbourne questions
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Fishbourne.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
