Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Thornliebank. What changes the price is:

- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

About our bath re-enamelling in Thornliebank
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and a coating lifting around the plughole.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort 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.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Repairing versus replacing in Thornliebank
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. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why Thornliebank customers choose us
- Everything repaired in place
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Common questions in Thornliebank
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
