About our bath re-enamelling in Thatto Heath
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about thin, worn enamel in places and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
What affects the price in Thatto Heath
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why Thatto Heath clients choose us
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Most jobs done in one visit
- One price list for the entire UK
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Thatto Heath questions
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Are there extra charges for Thatto Heath?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
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 repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Landlord and trade work in Thatto Heath
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
