Bath re-enamelling in Salvington, done in place
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and chips and rust in more than one place, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

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.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a full day.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price

When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath split right through the body
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath that is rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Salvington
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Store bottles off the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Salvington?
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Thin, worn enamel in places
What your quote should include
- How to care for the finish
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price covers travel
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Salvington questions
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What areas do you cover?
All of West Sussex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you work in Salvington?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Salvington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
