About our bath re-enamelling in Thorpe Hesley
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We’re frequently asked to fix a roll-top that’s seen better days and thin, worn enamel in places, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath split right through the body
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Thorpe Hesley
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

What we are called out for in Thorpe Hesley
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Stains that will not shift
Before booking anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What affects the price in Thorpe Hesley
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Questions from Thorpe Hesley
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
