About our bath re-enamelling in West Blatchington
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the next day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and staining under the taps and around the waste.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Landlord and trade work in West Blatchington
If you manage property in West Blatchington, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Questions from West Blatchington
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Fix dripping taps quickly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
