Bath re-enamelling in Barmby on the Marsh

About our bath re-enamelling in Barmby on the Marsh

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coating lifting around the plughole.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Barmby on the Marsh

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you cover Barmby on the Marsh?

We do. Technicians travel to Barmby on the Marsh from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

When to call us in Barmby on the Marsh

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Store bottles off the bath

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a full day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
