Bath re-enamelling in Ellington Thorpe without replacing anything
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you’re dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coloured bath you want in white, we can normally put it right, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs
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
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Respect the curing time we give you
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Landlord and trade work in Ellington Thorpe
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ellington Thorpe use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
