Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Thorndon, Suffolk
Bath re-enamelling in Thorndon without the cost of replacing. Send us photos for a fixed price, then we come to you.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
About our bath re-enamelling in Thorndon
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We are often asked to fix wear marks under the taps and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What else we do in Thorndon
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Thorndon: your questions answered
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your IP23 postcode.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you work in Thorndon?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Thorndon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

- One sharp close-up of the damage

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
