Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Southwick, West Sussex
Fixed-price bath re-enamelling in Southwick and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Wear marks under the taps
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Bath re-enamelling in Southwick, done in place
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you’re dealing with wear marks under the taps and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can generally put it right.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Southwick as everywhere else we work.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Southwick. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BN42 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Southwick: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Which areas do you work in?
All of West Sussex, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Common problems we fix in Southwick
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they match the colour on site
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow most of the day. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
