How we handle bath re-enamelling in Horsington
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. If you are dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Have chips seen to early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace in Horsington?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take most of the day.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
