Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- 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 typically be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Thornthwaite
Do you work in Thornthwaite?
We do. We send a technician to Thornthwaite for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of North Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Thornthwaite. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath
