About our bath re-enamelling in Marksbury
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and lots of chips and rust spots.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Have chips seen to early
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Marksbury?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Common questions in Marksbury
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Repair or replace in Marksbury?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode.

What else we do in Marksbury
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
