About our bath re-enamelling in Thwaites
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a coating lifting around the plughole and several chips and rust patches.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

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’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths

What affects the price in Thwaites
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Repair or replace in Thwaites?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

FAQs for Thwaites
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you come to Thwaites?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Thwaites and the rest of Bradford. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Thwaites
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Before booking anyone
- How the colour is matched
- How to care for the finish
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
