Bath re-enamelling in Horseway, done in place
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repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an outdated colour you’d like to change and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cambridgeshire.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Horseway. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Common problems we fix in Horseway
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Wear marks under the taps
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day. Prices start from £350. 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.

What happens on the day

- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Horseway?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are there extra charges for Horseway?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
