Bath re-enamelling in Thorney Holme without replacing anything

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When to call us in Thorney Holme

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Common reasons people in Thorney Holme contact us are:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Thorney Holme

What affects the price in Thorney Holme

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Thorney Holme. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Thorney Holme. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Thorney Holme questions

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
