About our bath re-enamelling in Horley
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a coating lifting around the plughole and worn patches where water runs and sits.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a full day.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

FAQs for Horley
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Horley
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Before booking anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
