Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Thomastown
Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Wear marks under the taps
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Bath re-enamelling in Thomastown without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and wear marks under the taps.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.
Common questions in Thomastown
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
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.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
