Bath Re-enamelling for Upper Thurnham homes
Fixed-price bath re-enamelling in Upper Thurnham and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Upper Thurnham
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you’re dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Upper Thurnham
For anyone letting property in or around Upper Thurnham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have chips seen to early
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Give the finish its full curing time before using the 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 have it stripped and resurfaced.
Upper Thurnham: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Upper Thurnham?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Upper Thurnham.
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath that is rusted through
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Upper Thurnham. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
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
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LA2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace in Upper Thurnham?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Everything repaired in place
