About our bath re-enamelling in Marlbrook
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an outdated colour you’d like to change, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Marlbrook. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you’re in Marlbrook and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting 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. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we are called out for in Marlbrook
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
Comparing quotes
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if they find more damage
Marlbrook: your questions answered
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
What areas do you cover?
All of Worcestershire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Marlbrook

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Marlbrook
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
