How we handle bath re-enamelling in Thorpe on the Hill
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We are frequently asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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.
FAQs for Thorpe on the Hill
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Thorpe on the Hill is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thorpe on the Hill use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
