About our bath re-enamelling in Thornhill
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Thornhill?
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A roll-top that is seen better days
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Common questions in Thornhill
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Repairing versus replacing in Thornhill
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
