About our bath re-enamelling in Thornbury
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 regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and chips and rust in more than one place.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs 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 you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
When to call us in Thornbury
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Look out for any of the following:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- When it can be used again
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Have chips seen to early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
