Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Thorne St Margaret, Somerset
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing for householders, landlords and businesses in Thorne St Margaret. Send pictures for a free, fixed quote.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
About our bath re-enamelling in Thorne St Margaret
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We are often asked to fix lots of chips and rust spots and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What affects the price in Thorne St Margaret
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
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 will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

FAQs for Thorne St Margaret
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Thorne St Margaret.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath split right through the body
- Steel that has corroded right through
