About our bath re-enamelling in Thornhill

We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. We are frequently asked to fix a bath in a colour that no longer suits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Thornhill questions

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

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

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How long will the bath be out of use?

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs

What we’re called out for in Thornhill

Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Before booking anyone

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thornhill

For anyone letting property in or around Thornhill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thornhill use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
