Bath re-enamelling at your home in Far Thorpe Green
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a roll-top that’s seen better days, across Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Far Thorpe Green
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Far Thorpe Green?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you come to Far Thorpe Green?

Is the work guaranteed?

Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Landlord and trade work in Far Thorpe Green
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
