Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Thrumpton. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Bath re-enamelling in Thrumpton without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Nottingham.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can

Related advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Thrumpton
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
FAQs for Thrumpton
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Thrumpton?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Thrumpton?
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Several chips and rust patches
- Wear marks under the taps
- A roll-top that is seen better days
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
- What prep work is covered
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
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.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Thrumpton
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Should you replace it?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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 typically the cheaper route.
