Bath re-enamelling in Marlborough without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you are dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and several chips and rust patches, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Marlborough?
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Stains that will not shift
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Several chips and rust patches
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How changes to the job are handled
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
FAQs for Marlborough
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 before the end of a tenancy.
Do you cover Marlborough?
We do. We send a technician to Marlborough for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Marlborough?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
How to prepare

What affects the price in Marlborough
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
