About our bath re-enamelling in Ambler Thorn
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We are often asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and wear marks under the taps, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What affects the price in Ambler Thorn
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you’re in Ambler Thorn and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Never use suction bath mats
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Landlord and trade work in Ambler Thorn
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Common questions in Ambler Thorn
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
