Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Bath re-enamelling in Thorncote Green without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you are dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can typically put it right, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Thorncote Green questions
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Have chips seen to early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Thorncote Green?
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Look out for these signs:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Before booking anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to care for the finish
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
