About our bath re-enamelling in Horkstow
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We’re frequently asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coating lifting around the plughole, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Repairing versus replacing in Horkstow
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

FAQs for Horkstow
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you cover Horkstow?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Horkstow from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Never use suction bath mats
- Store bottles off the bath
- Have chips seen to early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What else we do in Horkstow
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Common problems we fix in Horkstow
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
