Bath re-enamelling at your home in Thornhill Lees

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. We are often asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and chips and rust in more than one place, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

FAQs for Thornhill Lees

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

When to call us in Thornhill Lees

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How your room will be protected
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before booking

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Never use suction bath mats

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow most of the day.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
