About our bath re-enamelling in Thorpe Acre
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a coating lifting around the plughole.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Common problems we fix in Thorpe Acre
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Stains that will not shift
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Several chips and rust patches
Before booking anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
- How to care for the finish
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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 until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Common questions in Thorpe Acre
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Repairing versus replacing in Thorpe Acre
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
