Bath re-enamelling in Margaretting Tye

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Margaretting Tye

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. Whether it’s a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths alike.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Margaretting Tye questions

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you come to Margaretting Tye?

We do. We send a technician to Margaretting Tye for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Margaretting Tye as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Work done at your home or business

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
