About our bath re-enamelling in Thorley
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Thorley
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from Thorley
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

We work UK-wide, and that includes Thorley. Prices don’t change with location.
