What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Horningsea
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price covers travel
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the colour is matched
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- 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 next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Horningsea. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CB25 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
