Bath re-enamelling in Sompting without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and several chips and rust patches, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Take a look at our pricing and bath cost comparison.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Sompting
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work in Sompting?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Sompting and the rest of West Sussex. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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 is the part we put right.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Sompting
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How the colour is matched
- How your room will be protected
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Never use suction bath mats
- Store bottles off the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
