Hornton: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Hornton?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What areas do you cover?
All of Oxfordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Bath re-enamelling in Hornton, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Hornton
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Landlord and trade work in Hornton
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we’re called out for in Hornton
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An old resurfacing that is failing
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price covers travel
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths

How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Never use suction bath mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
