Questions from Thornhill
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do you cover Thornhill?
We do. We send a technician to Thornhill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?
We work UK-wide, so Thornhill is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Thornhill
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Normally one visit, start to finish

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
