Bath re-enamelling near Markby

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Markby

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can usually put it right, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Markby, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Markby

Are there extra charges for Markby?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

Do you come to Markby?

We do. We send a technician to Markby for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

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

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before booking

Related advice

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Have chips seen to early

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Markby?

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
