Questions from Throcking
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Bath re-enamelling in Throcking, done in place
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and staining under the taps and around the waste, in Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Throcking
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Questions to ask before you book
- How to look after the finish
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How your room will be protected
Landlords, agents and businesses in Throcking
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for most of the day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
