What else we do in Thundridge
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Common problems we fix in Thundridge
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Chips and rust in more than one place

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

FAQs for Thundridge
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Landlord and trade work in Thundridge
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
