Bath re-enamelling in Thornsett, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Derbyshire.

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Thornsett: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
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.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do you come to Thornsett?
We do. Technicians travel to Thornsett from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Thornsett. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- No need to remove anything
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Same prices wherever you are
See our prices page or bath cost comparison.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes most of the day. We leave the room clean.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Thornsett
- Pressed steel baths

What else we do in Thornsett
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Thornsett
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Who will actually do the work
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Thornsett, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
