Bath re-enamelling in Horsington without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are lots of chips and rust spots and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Horsington questions
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Are there extra charges for Horsington?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Repair or replace in Horsington?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we’re called out for in Horsington
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow most of the day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
