Bath re-enamelling at your home in Horsehay

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We’re often asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Store bottles off the bath

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Horsehay. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Horsehay

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Horsehay.

Repairs by material

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 what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
