About our bath re-enamelling in Horsleycross Street
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

When to call us in Horsleycross Street
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Look out for these signs:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, including clearing up.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
