Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Pagham, West Sussex
Damaged bath in Pagham? We repair it in place, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Bath re-enamelling in Pagham without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and lots of chips and rust spots, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Pagham
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

FAQs for Pagham
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Which areas do you work in?
All of West Sussex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do you come to Pagham?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Pagham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- 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.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
