Bath re-enamelling at your home in Thorpe Thewles
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you’re dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Store bottles off the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
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.

- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
