Repair or replace in Thundersley?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- No need to remove anything
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One visit for most repairs

About our bath re-enamelling in Thundersley
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and worn patches where water runs and sits, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What affects the price in Thundersley
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Thundersley: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
