Bath re-enamelling at your home in Thornton
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and chips and rust in more than one place, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Thornton?
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Wear marks under the taps
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Thornton questions
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Never use suction bath mats
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
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.
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.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
