How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Upper Horsebridge.

What we are called out for in Upper Horsebridge

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Holes rusted through the metal

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Common questions in Upper Horsebridge

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do you work in Upper Horsebridge?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Upper Horsebridge for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
