How we handle bath re-enamelling in East Horndon
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a coating lifting around the plughole and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What else we do in East Horndon
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
