Bath Re-enamelling in Thruxton
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Thruxton, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
What your bath is made of matters
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
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Thruxton
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a coating lifting around the plughole and thin, worn enamel in places.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a full day. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Repairing versus replacing in Thruxton
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Questions from Thruxton
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
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.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Are there extra charges for Thruxton?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
