How we handle bath re-enamelling in Margaretting
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can normally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
When to call us in Margaretting
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if they find more damage
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath split right through the body
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath that is rusted through

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
What affects the price in Margaretting
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have chips seen to early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Store bottles off the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
