Bath re-enamelling at your home in Horringer
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and a coating lifting around the plughole.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
FAQs for Horringer
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Horringer. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Horringer use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, pictures 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.
