Repair or replace in Thorns Green?
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’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What we’re called out for in Thorns Green
Often the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A coating lifting around the plughole

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Store bottles off the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Respect the curing time we give you
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Thorns Green questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
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 we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from pictures 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 we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
