The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Marchmont
Do you cover Marchmont?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Marchmont for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we’re called out for in Marchmont

- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Stains that will not shift
What to look for in a quote

- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Marchmont
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, 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?
- No extra charge for your area
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Normally one visit, start to finish
