Bath re-enamelling at your home in Four Throws
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a coloured bath you want in white.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow the best part of a day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Common questions in Four Throws
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Do you cover Four Throws?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Four Throws from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Repair dripping taps early
- Have chips seen to early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build 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.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TN18 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath that is rusted through
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Four Throws
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Four Throws. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
