How we handle bath re-enamelling in Horstead
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a coloured bath you want in white and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Horstead
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
If you manage property in Horstead, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What affects the price in Horstead
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Repairing versus replacing in Horstead
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- Same prices wherever you are
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Repair dripping taps early
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
