Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
About our bath re-enamelling in Thong
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about lots of chips and rust spots and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Thong as everywhere else we work.

Repairing versus replacing in Thong
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why Thong clients choose us
- One visit for most repairs
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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 bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Access to the area
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
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. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thong
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, including clearing up.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
