FAQs for Thrumster
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Bath re-enamelling in Thrumster without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Should you replace it?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Thrumster
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, 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, and the work is guaranteed.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Thrumster

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Common problems we fix in Thrumster
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
