Questions from Margery

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Are there extra charges for Margery?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Margery?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Landlord and trade work in Margery

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Margery?

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.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

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