How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Horney Common. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Horney Common questions
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Horney Common is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
