About our bath re-enamelling in Thornby
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a coating lifting around the plughole and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Thornby questions
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you come to Thornby?
We do. Technicians travel to Thornby from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
