Bath re-enamelling in Londonthorpe, done in place
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and a coating lifting around the plughole, across pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
When to call us in Londonthorpe
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Wear marks under the taps

Common questions in Londonthorpe
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Londonthorpe. Prices do not change with location.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are there extra charges for Londonthorpe?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
