Bath re-enamelling in Horton Kirby without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you are dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can usually put it right, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Horton Kirby as everywhere else we work.

Common questions in Horton Kirby
Do you work in Horton Kirby?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Horton Kirby for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Repair or replace in Horton Kirby?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- We leave the room as we found it
- A fixed quote before booking

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
Most customers in Horton Kirby get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Horton Kirby, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
