About our bath re-enamelling in Horsebridge

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, so we don’t cut corners on it. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can usually put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Horsebridge as everywhere else we work.

Common problems we fix in Horsebridge

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Our hiring checklist

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Horsebridge, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
