Thorrington: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Thorrington is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Thorrington?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Bath re-enamelling in Thorrington without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We’re often asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and staining under the taps and around the waste, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Materials we work on in Thorrington

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Store bottles off the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Thorrington, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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 are paying for.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colour-matched on site

- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
