Bath re-enamelling in Horsley, done in place
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Horsley. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Horsley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
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.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Horsley: your questions answered
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do you cover Horsley?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Horsley from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Store bottles off the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Repairing versus replacing in Horsley
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
What you get with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colour mixed on the day to match
