Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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 typically the cheaper route.
Bath re-enamelling in High Throston without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are chips and rust in more than one place and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in High Throston?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An old resurfacing that’s failing

FAQs for High Throston
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What affects the price in High Throston
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for High Throston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Repairing versus replacing in High Throston
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
