Questions from Thelveton
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Thelveton
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Typical jobs include a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and staining under the taps and around the waste, across Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, tidy-up included.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry

Advice
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A bath that’s rusted through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Different materials, different repairs
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
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Landlord and trade work in Thelveton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Thelveton?
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
