Bath re-enamelling in Westhampnett without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and thin, worn enamel in places, across acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Westhampnett and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repair or replace in Westhampnett?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Westhampnett. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Colour mixed on the day to match
Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
