About our bath re-enamelling in Hammerwood
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you have a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help, whatever the material.
Somewhere as small as Hammerwood, you’ll find cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings. Some have heavy cast iron baths or tight bathrooms, and removing a bath from an older house is rarely simple. Bath re-enamelling in place avoids all of that.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Landlord and trade work in Hammerwood
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Quotes cost nothing and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hammerwood, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day. Older homes around Hammerwood may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. Repairing avoids those problems.
Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colour-matched on site
- Same prices wherever you are
See our Full price list And Resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Store bottles off the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
FAQs for Hammerwood
Do you work for landlords with property near Dormans station?
Yes. We fix baths between tenancies for landlords and letting agents, and several addresses can be quoted together.
My house in Hammerwood is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?
Often, yes: original pieces are typically worth keeping. Photos let us tell you what we’d recommend.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
When to call us in Hammerwood
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.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Wear marks under the taps
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
For older houses around Hammerwood, near landmarks such as Church of St Stephen, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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, with the outside refinished as well.
