Repair or replace in Thornton Heath?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Typically one visit, start to finish

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Thornton Heath
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often 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.
If you manage property in Thornton Heath, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Thornton Heath
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Thornton Heath questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Thornton Heath?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Are there extra charges for Thornton Heath?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Thornton Heath
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Thornton Heath. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
