Bath re-enamelling at your home in Thakeham
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are stains that won’t shift and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths

Common problems we fix in Thakeham
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who turns up on the day
Repairing versus replacing in Thakeham
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- Colour-matched on site
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Thakeham
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
If you manage property in Thakeham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Thakeham questions
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your RH20 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
