FAQs for Marks Tey
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do you cover Marks Tey?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Marks Tey for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Why repair rather than replace?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Marks Tey clients choose us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One price list for the entire UK
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Generally one visit, start to finish

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Marks Tey
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Stains that will not shift
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An old resurfacing that is failing
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
If you manage property in Marks Tey, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Repair dripping taps early
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
