Bath re-enamelling in Horsley Hill without replacing anything

Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.

What else we do in Horsley Hill
What affects the price in Horsley Hill
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Questions from Horsley Hill
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Do you work in Horsley Hill?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Horsley Hill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Horsley Hill
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Horsley Hill use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we are called out for in Horsley Hill
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Look out for these signs:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Several chips and rust patches
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- Aftercare advice
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long it needs to cure
Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
