How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Thornton-le-Clay. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Thornton-le-Clay, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Bath re-enamelling in Thornton-le-Clay, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. If you are dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can typically put it right, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Repair dripping taps early
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
