Bath re-enamelling in Horsenden

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Horsenden

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repairing versus replacing in Horsenden

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before booking

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Landlord and trade work in Horsenden

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When to call us in Horsenden

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What to look for in a quote

  • How to care for the finish
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who turns up on the day
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Horsenden. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Advice

Common questions in Horsenden

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Are there extra charges for Horsenden?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
