Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most clients in Thorncross get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Bath re-enamelling in Thorncross, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can usually put it right.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thorncross
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Common problems we fix in Thorncross
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Common reasons people in Thorncross contact us are:
- Stains that will not shift
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Several chips and rust patches
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Thorncross
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Isle of Wight.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

What else we do in Thorncross
Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Thorncross customers choose us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We leave the room as we found it
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
