How we handle bath re-enamelling in Westmeston
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Westmeston as everywhere else we work.

Common questions in Westmeston
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Are there extra charges for Westmeston?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can tenants book a repair?

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Westmeston
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

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.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash

Landlord and trade work in Westmeston
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
