Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Worth, West Sussex
Bath re-enamelling for Worth, without a refit. Send us pictures for a fixed price, then book a visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Thin, worn enamel in places
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Bath re-enamelling in Worth without replacing anything
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
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’s the part we put right.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Worth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Worth use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Questions from Worth
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you come to Worth?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Worth from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Worth. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Worth. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
