Bath re-enamelling in Horton without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include a coating lifting around the plughole and several chips and rust patches, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- 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 following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Horton?
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Look out for any of the following:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Several chips and rust patches
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Horton questions
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are there extra charges for Horton?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Surrey.
Do you come to Horton?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Horton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 the part we put right.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
