How we handle bath re-enamelling in Wivelsfield
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about a coloured bath you want in white and chips and rust in more than one place.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in West Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Materials we work on in Wivelsfield
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
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 the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Common problems we fix in Wivelsfield
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Stains that won’t shift
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What affects the price in Wivelsfield
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Wivelsfield
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
