DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Thornhill
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. If you are dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Questions from Thornhill
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Thornhill?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Thornhill. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Thornhill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
If you are in Thornhill and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Thornhill
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Southampton and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
