- Stains that won’t shift
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Margaret Roding
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
Most clients in Margaret Roding get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- 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.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, 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.
What we are called out for in Margaret Roding
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Stains that will not shift
- A coating lifting around the plughole
