The grand Victorian villas along Marine Parade and Regency houses near Beach House Park deserve bathrooms that match their elegance - which is why bath enamel repair Worthing residents trust us with has been our specialty for three decades. From the seafront properties in West Parade to the family homes in Tarring and Goring-by-Sea, we've restored thousands of damaged bath enamels to their original glory. Whether you've discovered chips in your Edwardian roll-top bath or cracks forming in a modern suite, our 30 years' experience ensures invisible, lasting repairs backed by our comprehensive 12 months warranty.
Worthing's diverse housing stock, stretching from the Art Deco apartments near the pier to the suburban estates in Durrington and High Salvington, presents unique bath enamel challenges. The town's 114,000 residents occupy everything from converted Georgian townhouses to 1960s bungalows in Findon Valley, each with different bath types requiring specialist knowledge. Our technicians understand that a cast iron bath in a period property near Steyne Gardens needs different treatment than an acrylic suite in the newer developments around Lyons Farm. This local expertise, combined with professional-grade materials, delivers repairs that outlast cheaper alternatives while saving you 70% compared to replacement costs.
Every bath enamel repair Worthing project begins with understanding the specific damage and bath material. In the grand seafront properties along The Esplanade, we often encounter original cast iron baths with genuine vitreous enamel that's become chipped or worn after decades of use. These require specialist primers and color-matching to maintain their period character. Meanwhile, in the modern apartments near Worthing Station or the family homes throughout Broadwater, we typically find pressed steel or acrylic baths with synthetic enamel coatings that crack differently.
Our repair process starts with thorough preparation - removing any rust, cleaning the damaged area, and creating the perfect surface for adhesion. For chips near the overflow or around tap holes (common problems we see in the converted flats along Chapel Road), we use dental-grade filling compounds that expand and contract at the same rate as your bath material. This prevents future cracking, especially important in Worthing's coastal climate where temperature variations can affect bathroom fixtures.
The actual enamel application involves multiple thin layers, each carefully cured before the next. We carry over 200 color formulations in our van, allowing perfect matching whether you have a classic white bath in a Tarring Victorian terrace or a colored suite from the 1970s common in East Worthing estates. Our 30 years' experience means we can even match discontinued colors from manufacturers no longer trading.
Final polishing brings the repair area to the exact gloss level of your existing enamel. This attention to detail is why property management companies maintaining seafront apartment blocks between Splash Point and Marine Gardens regularly choose our services. The repair becomes completely invisible, and with our 12 months warranty, you have complete peace of mind.
Impact Chips: The most frequent issue we handle, particularly in family homes around Thomas A Becket and Davison High School areas. Dropped bottles, toys, or tools create small chips that expose the metal beneath. Without prompt repair, these quickly rust and expand, especially with Worthing's sea air accelerating corrosion.
Hairline Cracks: Common in properties throughout West Tarring and Goring where original 1930s baths have flexed over time. These spider-web patterns often appear around the plug area or where the bath meets the wall. Our specialist resins penetrate deep into cracks, sealing them permanently.
Enamel Wear: In the busy rental properties near Worthing Hospital and the town centre, constant use creates dull patches where the enamel has worn thin. We see this frequently in shared houses along Portland Road and Byron Road. Full resurfacing restores the glossy finish and adds years to your bath's life.
Staining & Discoloration: Period properties in conservation areas like Park Crescent and Liverpool Terrace often have antique baths with stubborn staining. Our restoration process removes decades of discoloration without damaging the original enamel, preserving both value and character.
Previous Poor Repairs: We regularly fix DIY attempts and substandard professional work. The beachfront hotels and guesthouses between the pier and Brooklands Park particularly value our ability to correct failed repairs that affect their reputation.

A penthouse apartment overlooking Worthing Pier had extensive enamel damage from years of salt air exposure. The cast iron bath showed multiple chips and surface pitting. We performed a complete enamel restoration over two visits, including rust treatment and full resurfacing. Cost: £445 versus £2,800 for replacement (plus crane hire for 6th floor). The repair came with our full 12 months warranty and still looks perfect after 18 months.
A converted Victorian house near Worthing Museum had an original roll-top bath with a large chip exposing rusty metal. The landlord needed a quick fix before new tenants arrived. We color-matched the aged white enamel perfectly and sealed the chip in one visit. Total time: 2 hours. Cost: £185. The repair is invisible and covered by our 12 months warranty. Replacement would have meant removing windows and weeks of disruption.
A busy family near Broadwater Green had their bath damaged during bathroom renovations. Multiple impact chips from dropped tiles had ruined their nearly-new bath. Rather than claim on insurance, they called us. We repaired six separate chips, perfectly matching the brilliant white finish. Cost: £265 versus £800 bath replacement plus fitting. With our warranty, they're fully protected. The builders were amazed at the invisible results.
Single chip repairs start from £165, with discounts for multiple chips in the same bath. Most Worthing properties require basic chip repair, especially in the rental market around Brighton Road and Rowlands Road where tenant turnover creates wear.
Crack repairs typically cost £245-£385 depending on length and location. The period properties in Ambrose Place and Bedford Row often need crack repair in original fixtures where replacement would damage architectural character.
Full enamel resurfacing ranges from £425-£595, transforming worn baths to better-than-new condition. This service is popular in the seafront hotels between Splash Point and the Dome Cinema where presentation matters.
All prices include our 12 months warranty, materials, and expert labor from technicians with 30 years' experience. No hidden costs or call-out charges within Worthing.
