What happens on the day

- 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.
Getting ready for the visit

Bath re-enamelling in Horns Cross without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Horns Cross. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Horns Cross. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Common problems we fix in Horns Cross
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Common reasons people in Horns Cross contact us include:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
