What affects the price in Thornage
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
About our bath re-enamelling in Thornage
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Norfolk.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Landlord and trade work in Thornage
If you manage property in Thornage, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thornage use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Thornage questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Thornage included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you come to Thornage?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Thornage and the rest of Norfolk. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Advice
Repair or replace in Thornage?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Common problems we fix in Thornage
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
