Bath re-enamelling at your home in Thorndon Cross
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and wear marks under the taps.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Thorndon Cross
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Thorndon Cross?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Thorndon Cross. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What affects the price in Thorndon Cross
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Thorndon Cross. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
