Bath Re-enamelling in Walberton
Fixed-price bath re-enamelling in Walberton and the surrounding area, normally in one visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Walberton
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a coating lifting around the plughole and several chips and rust patches.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Questions from Walberton
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
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.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- 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.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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 what we repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most customers in Walberton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
