- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
About our bath re-enamelling in Horsebridge
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you’re dealing with several chips and rust patches and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Horsebridge, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
When to call us in Horsebridge
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Before booking anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit

- Ensure the area is dry
