About our bath re-enamelling in Hornestreet
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. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and stains that won’t shift, we can generally put it right.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Hornestreet questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover the whole of Essex?
The entire UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Hornestreet. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
What we are called out for in Hornestreet
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Wear marks under the taps
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hornestreet use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Repairing versus replacing in Hornestreet
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. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hornestreet. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
