Bath re-enamelling in Throapham without replacing anything

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and lots of chips and rust spots.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Throapham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

When to call us in Throapham

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Aftercare advice
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Throapham

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Throapham is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What affects the price in Throapham

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.
