Bath re-enamelling in Thorne Coffin, done in place
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Should you replace it?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What affects the price in Thorne Coffin
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Thorne Coffin, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Common questions in Thorne Coffin
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- 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.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
