We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We’re frequently asked to fix wear marks under the taps and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
FAQs for Thurleigh
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
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.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath split right through the body
- A bath that is rusted through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Landlord and trade work in Thurleigh
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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 several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Thurleigh
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Several chips and rust patches
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
