Bath re-enamelling at your home in South Horrington
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about chips and rust in more than one place and stains that won’t shift.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
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.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Common problems we fix in South Horrington
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips and rust in more than one place

- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Common questions in South Horrington
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes South Horrington. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- 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
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can

Advice
What affects the price in South Horrington
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath split right through the body
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
