Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Marley, Kent
We travel to Marley for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Marley as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
For anyone letting property in or around Marley, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Bath re-enamelling in Marley, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and thin, worn enamel in places.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Marley
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

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
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Steel that has corroded right through

About Marley
Marley is about 5 miles south-east of Canterbury, in Kent. Customers in Marley get the same service as everywhere else we cover: a fixed quote from your photos, and a technician at your door on the day. Marley is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. We work right across the region, from Marley to London (57 miles away).
Jobs in CT4 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. Whether you live on Marley Lane and Covet Lane or a nearby road, a technician can come to you. We also cover the places around Marley: Kingston (1 mile north-east), Heart's Delight (1 mile south-east), Out Elmstead (1 mile east), Barham (1 mile east) and Derringstone (1 mile south-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Ashford (13 miles south-west), Canterbury (5 miles north-west), Dover (9 miles south-east), Folkestone (9 miles south), Ramsgate (15 miles north-east) and Whitstable (11 miles north-west).
Local landmarks in Marley
We visit homes around Black Robin Public House, Church of St Giles and Barham Church of England Primary School and the streets around them. Marley’s nearest station is Snowdown station, roughly 3.5 miles east of the centre. Further afield, we also cover the area around Kent and Canterbury Hospital (4.3 miles north-west).
Common problems we fix in Marley
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Have chips seen to early
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Marley. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
What else we do in Marley
Marley: your questions answered
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
