How we handle bath re-enamelling in Sidlesham Common
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

Common problems we fix in Sidlesham Common
Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Several chips and rust patches
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An old resurfacing that’s failing

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair dripping taps early
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Sidlesham Common questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Sidlesham Common?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths

Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
