Bath Re-enamelling in Horbury
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Horbury, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Wear marks under the taps
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Bath re-enamelling in Horbury without replacing anything
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Typical jobs include brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and several chips and rust patches, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Horbury
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Chips and rust in more than one place

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Horbury questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work in Horbury?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Horbury. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
