What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Horsley

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you are dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Horsley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

When to call us in Horsley

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Never use suction bath mats

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What affects the price in Horsley

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
