Bath re-enamelling at your home in Horton
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about chips and rust in more than one place and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Horton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Horton questions
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Staffordshire.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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.
