For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Bath re-enamelling in Staplefield without replacing anything
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace in Staplefield?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Staplefield
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to care for the finish
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Staplefield: your questions answered
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you cover the entire of West Sussex?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Staplefield. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
