For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Down Thomas, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Bath re-enamelling in Down Thomas, done in place
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you’re dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
When to call us in Down Thomas
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- Wear marks under the taps
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Stains that will not shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow most of the day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Repair dripping taps early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Down Thomas, 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.
