Advice
Bath re-enamelling in Marnhull without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. If you are dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and lots of chips and rust spots, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
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, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What we’re called out for in Marnhull
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Stains that will not shift
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- What prep work is covered
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How to care for the finish
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- No extra charge for your area
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Marnhull: your questions answered
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
