Bath Re-enamelling in Thorpe Market
Fixed-price bath re-enamelling in Thorpe Market and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Thorpe Market
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We are frequently asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Thorpe Market: your questions answered
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Thorpe Market?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you come to Thorpe Market?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Thorpe Market from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take most of the day, tidy-up included.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Thorpe Market
Often the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How soon you can use it again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Never use suction bath mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Thorpe Market. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
