When to call us in Horsham St Faith

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Stains that will not shift

Before you book anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How your room will be protected
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Horsham St Faith

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are chips and rust in more than one place and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Take a look at our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Horsham St Faith. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Questions from Horsham St Faith

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
