DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t 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 pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What else we do in Thelnetham
Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Thelnetham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Store bottles off the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Thelnetham: your questions answered
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Suffolk.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your IP22 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
