Bath Re-enamelling for Thornham Parva homes
Our repair technicians come to Thornham Parva for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A coloured bath you want in white
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Thornham Parva
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for a roll-top that’s seen better days and thin, worn enamel in places, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Thornham Parva?
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Aftercare advice
- How soon you can use it again
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
FAQs for Thornham Parva
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Thornham Parva?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
