Bath re-enamelling at your home in Thorney
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
Most clients in Thorney get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Thorney?
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Look out for any of the following:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What aftercare is recommended

Common questions in Thorney
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you cover the whole of Buckinghamshire?
All of Buckinghamshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace in Thorney?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
