- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Thin, worn enamel in places

About our bath re-enamelling in Thurlstone
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. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can usually put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from Thurlstone
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Have chips seen to early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What affects the price in Thurlstone
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
If you’re in Thurlstone and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Landlord and trade work in Thurlstone
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- A fixed quote before you book
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- No need to remove anything
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry
