How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Thornborough, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Thornborough
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Thornborough and across Buckinghamshire.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
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
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 what we repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Thornborough
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thornborough as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath split right through the body
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Thornborough
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops

- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.

Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Thornborough: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you cover Thornborough?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Thornborough. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
