About our bath re-enamelling in Towthorpe
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What else we do in Towthorpe
Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- We leave the room as we found it

What affects the price in Towthorpe
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Towthorpe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Towthorpe
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Clients usually contact us about:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Stains that will not shift

Towthorpe questions
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do you cover Towthorpe?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Towthorpe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
