What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
For a price in Horndean, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, 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. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

FAQs for Horndean
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you cover Horndean?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Horndean for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Horndean. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops

What affects the price in Horndean
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.
When to call us in Horndean
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
