Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath

Thearne questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you cover Thearne?
We do. We send a technician to Thearne for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Thearne?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Thearne
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Have chips seen to early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Store bottles off the bath
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.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thearne as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
