How we handle bath re-enamelling in Thornham Fold
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How it works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Have chips seen to early
- Never use suction bath mats
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
When to call us in Thornham Fold
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Stains that won’t shift
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A bath split right through the body
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Common questions in Thornham Fold
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
