Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Thornham, Norfolk
Bath re-enamelling across Thornham and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350

Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We leave the room as we found it
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One-year guarantee on every repair

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Thornham
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. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and thin, worn enamel in places.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What we are called out for in Thornham
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coloured bath you want in white
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How to look after the finish
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Landlords, agents and businesses in Thornham
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
