Trusted bath re-enamelling in Horsham

Bath re-enamelling in Horsham without replacing anything

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. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a coating lifting around the plughole.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Have chips seen to early

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

FAQs for Horsham

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

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. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in Horsham

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically 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 photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material

If you’re in Horsham and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlord and trade work in Horsham

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in West Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
