Bath re-enamelling in Horning without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include chips and rust in more than one place and worn patches where water runs and sits, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
If you manage property in Horning, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Questions from Horning
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Horning?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Repairing versus replacing in Horning
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Horning, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
