Bath re-enamelling in Marley Hill, done in place
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coloured bath you want in white.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Marley Hill. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NE16 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

When to call us in Marley Hill
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Stains that will not shift
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Before you book anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
