Common problems we fix in Thorney
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Thin, worn enamel in places

Bath re-enamelling in Thorney, done in place
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and staining under the taps and around the waste.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Thorney
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Nottinghamshire.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t 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.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Respect the curing time we give you
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thorney
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Same prices wherever you are
- Everything repaired in place
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
Take a look at our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A metal bath with a through crack
