Bath re-enamelling in Marks Gate without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Common call-outs are for thin, worn enamel in places and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Marks Gate: your questions answered
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a full day in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Marks Gate
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Marks Gate
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops

Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
