Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Thornton, Liverpool

When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Thornton
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
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.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Never use suction bath mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Repair dripping taps early
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What affects the price in Thornton
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Liverpool and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can I add another job to the visit?

What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
