How we handle bath re-enamelling in Thorpe Culvert
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a coating lifting around the plughole and worn patches where water runs and sits.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Landlord and trade work in Thorpe Culvert
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Thorpe Culvert. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire bath
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 the same day in most cases.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
