About our bath re-enamelling in Thornes
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What we are called out for in Thornes
Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

Landlord and trade work in Thornes
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thornes as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice
Thornes: your questions answered
Do you come to Thornes?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Thornes for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Do you cover the whole of Wakefield?
The entire UK, including all of Wakefield. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
