Bath re-enamelling at your home in Horton
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We are often asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and lots of chips and rust spots, in Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Horton: your questions answered
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Do you cover Horton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Horton and the rest of Somerset. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
When to call us in Horton
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Horton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have chips seen to early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store bottles off the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

What else we do in Horton
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
