Bath re-enamelling at your home in Heyshott
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Heyshott
Do you work in Heyshott?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Heyshott. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of West Sussex. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Are there extra charges for Heyshott?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your GU29 postcode.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
When to call us in Heyshott
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Clients normally contact us about:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Several chips and rust patches
- Wear marks under the taps
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally 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 it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What affects the price in Heyshott
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A bath that’s rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
