About our bath re-enamelling in Horningsham
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you are dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can usually put it right, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a full day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Related advice
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. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Horningsham
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you cover the entire of Wiltshire?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Horningsham. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you work in Horningsham?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Horningsham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Repair dripping taps early
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Common problems we fix in Horningsham
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Clients usually contact us about:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Several chips and rust patches
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- When it can be used again
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Horningsham. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
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 pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
