Bath re-enamelling in Thurstaston without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What affects the price in Thurstaston
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
FAQs for Thurstaston
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Repair or replace in Thurstaston?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What else we do in Thurstaston
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Respect the curing time we give you
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What we’re called out for in Thurstaston
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Several chips and rust patches
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
