Petworth: your questions answered
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Petworth
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Petworth
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Before booking anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who turns up on the day
- How soon you can use it again
- How the room is protected while they work
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Petworth. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes most of the day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Petworth
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Petworth. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We leave the room as we found it
