Thorley questions
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover Thorley?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Thorley from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Thorley?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
About our bath re-enamelling in Thorley
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Thorley and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
What else we do in Thorley
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Thorley. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day, including clearing up.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
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.
