What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Thorpe Malsor. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Questions from Thorpe Malsor
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Thorpe Malsor?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you work in Thorpe Malsor?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Thorpe Malsor. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Thorpe Malsor
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Should you replace it?
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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Thorpe Malsor. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- 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
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
