How we handle bath re-enamelling in Horn Park
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. Typical jobs include a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Horn Park
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
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 there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath that is rusted through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Common problems we fix in Horn Park
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Stains that will not shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Before booking anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
