How we handle bath re-enamelling in Markham Vale

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Markham Vale: your questions answered
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Lots of chips and rust spots

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- 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.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
