How we handle bath re-enamelling in Horns Mill
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you are dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and lots of chips and rust spots, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common problems we fix in Horns Mill
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Thin, worn enamel in places

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Horns Mill. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Store bottles off the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Common questions in Horns Mill
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do you cover Horns Mill?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Horns Mill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
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.
