Bath re-enamelling near Marr

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

About our bath re-enamelling in Marr

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and an old resurfacing that’s failing, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Marr and across Doncaster.

Questions from Marr

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Marr and the rest of Doncaster. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Doncaster.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Marr. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Marr

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
