Bath re-enamelling at your home in Thornborough
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We are often asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Repairing versus replacing in Thornborough
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Thornborough: your questions answered
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Thornborough is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Common problems we fix in Thornborough
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
