Thrimby questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
About our bath re-enamelling in Thrimby
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Thrimby
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A coloured bath you want in white

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
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. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
