Bath Re-enamelling in Thorpe Marriott
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing at your home in Thorpe Marriott, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- 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, so limescale cannot build up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Bath re-enamelling in Thorpe Marriott, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and a coloured bath you want in white, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When to call us in Thorpe Marriott
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Common reasons people in Thorpe Marriott contact us include:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Who turns up on the day
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Thorpe Marriott

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Thorpe Marriott

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 a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
