Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

About our bath re-enamelling in Thurmaston
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Typical jobs include brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, across pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Thurmaston questions
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Thurmaston?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your LE4 postcode.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are there extra charges for Thurmaston?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Thurmaston?
Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- How your room will be protected
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
