About our bath re-enamelling in Thorpe Green
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Common problems we fix in Thorpe Green
Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

- When it can be used again
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Have chips seen to early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Store bottles off the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Thorpe Green: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
