How we handle bath re-enamelling in Thrapston
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. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that is rusted through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on

Thrapston: your questions answered
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Are there extra charges for Thrapston?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Repair dripping taps early
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
When to call us in Thrapston
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Stains that will not shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
