Do you need bath re-enamelling in Marden Ash?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Marden Ash
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and an old resurfacing that’s failing, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Questions from Marden Ash
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
