How we handle bath re-enamelling in Thorney
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We’re frequently asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coloured bath you want in white, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What we are called out for in Thorney
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Lots of chips and rust spots

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 the part we put right.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Common questions in Thorney
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
If you manage property in Thorney, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
