About our bath re-enamelling in Thurlby
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We’re often asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
We do not add 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.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PE10 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take most of the day.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Questions from Thurlby
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.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
