With over 30 years perfecting bath enamel repair in Horsham, we've become the trusted choice for homeowners from the historic Carfax area to the modern developments near Broadbridge Heath. Our specialist techniques restore damaged enamel on all bath types - from cast iron Victorian baths in Forest Road period properties to contemporary designer baths in the new Highwood estates.
Horsham's mix of architectural styles presents unique bath repair challenges. The Georgian townhouses around East Street often feature original roll-top baths with worn enamel, while the 1930s properties in Roffey and North Heath typically have sturdy but chipped cast iron baths. Modern developments like those near Christ's Hospital station showcase sleek acrylic and steel baths that require different repair approaches. Our 12 month warranty covers all repair types, giving you complete peace of mind.
Every bath enamel repair in Horsham begins with thorough surface preparation. We remove all traces of soap residue, limescale, and old sealant that could compromise the repair. For chips and cracks, we use specialist filler compounds that expand and contract at the same rate as your bath material, preventing future failure.
The enamel restoration process involves multiple stages. First, we apply a high-adhesion primer specifically formulated for bathroom conditions. Then, using professional spray equipment, we build up thin layers of enamel coating, allowing proper curing between applications. This technique ensures a smooth, durable finish that matches your bath's original appearance.
For older baths common in Horsham's period properties, we often encounter pitted or worn enamel surfaces. Rather than simple patching, we perform comprehensive resurfacing that addresses the underlying deterioration. This involves stripping damaged areas back to sound material before rebuilding the enamel layer by layer.
Our bath enamel repair Horsham service covers the entire RH12 and RH13 postcode areas. From the town centre near the Carfax and Forum to residential areas like Littlehaven and Holbrook, we provide prompt, professional service.
We regularly work in Horsham's surrounding villages including Southwater, Broadbridge Heath, Warnham, and Rusper. The converted barns and cottages in Slinfold and Itchingfield often feature unique bathroom configurations where bath replacement would be particularly challenging.
Properties near Horsham Park and the Causeway often retain original features that homeowners want to preserve. Our enamel repair service maintains these period bathrooms' character while ensuring modern performance standards. With 30 years experience in the area, we understand local property styles and their specific requirements.
A beautiful period home near Horsham Museum had an original cast iron bath with multiple chips around the rim and a crack near the overflow. The homeowner wanted to preserve this historic feature rather than replace it with a modern alternative. We carefully filled each chip, reinforced the crack, and performed a complete enamel resurface. The repair took one day, cost £425 (versus £3,500 for a comparable quality replacement), and our 12 month warranty ensures lasting protection. The bath now looks pristine while maintaining its period character.
A three-year-old property in the Highwood development had a designer bath with a deep chip from a dropped shower attachment. The bath model was discontinued, making replacement extremely expensive. Using our colour-matching expertise from 30 years experience, we perfectly matched the contemporary grey finish and repaired the damage invisibly. Total cost was £195, completed in 2 hours. The developer was so impressed they now recommend us for all their snagging issues.

Bath enamel isn't actually enamel in the traditional sense - it's typically a vitreous coating on cast iron baths or an acrylic surface on modern baths. Understanding your bath's construction helps explain why professional repair is so effective.
In older Horsham properties, particularly those around the historic Causeway area, cast iron baths were coated with a glass-like enamel fired at high temperatures. When this chips, it exposes the iron beneath which will rust if left untreated. Our repair process seals the exposed metal and rebuilds the protective coating.
Modern acrylic and fibreglass baths, common in developments like Kilnwood Vale, have a gel coat surface that can crack or chip from impact or thermal stress. These require different repair techniques, using flexible compounds that move with the bath material.
Repair is ideal when: Your bath structure is sound, damage is localized, you want to preserve original features, or replacement would require extensive renovation work.
Consider replacement if: Multiple previous repairs have failed, the bath structure is compromised, or you're completely renovating the bathroom anyway.
