Bath re-enamelling in Thurton, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. Common call-outs are for a roll-top that’s seen better days and wear marks under the taps, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

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.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Landlord and trade work in Thurton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Thurton
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Thurton
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Thurton?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
