Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can help, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Thwaite: your questions answered
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you cover the entire of North Yorkshire?
The entire UK, including all of North Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix 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.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
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.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Common problems we fix in Thwaite
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Look out for any of the following:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A roll-top that is seen better days
Before booking anyone
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
