Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Shipley, West Sussex
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing at your home in Shipley, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Bath re-enamelling in Shipley without replacing anything
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about stains that won’t shift and worn patches where water runs and sits.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Shipley
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

What affects the price in Shipley
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Shipley. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your RH13 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Questions from Shipley
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you cover the entire of West Sussex?
We work UK-wide, so Shipley is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
