Bath re-enamelling at your home in Thornhill
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coating lifting around the plughole.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Thornhill
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?
The entire UK, including all of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Thornhill
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An old resurfacing that is failing
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- Who turns up on the day
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why Thornhill customers choose us
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Work done at your home or business
- A fixed quote before you book
- One price list for the entire UK
See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For anyone letting property in or around Thornhill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Thornhill

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
Most customers in Thornhill get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
