DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Bath re-enamelling in Marsden, done in place
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about several chips and rust patches and stains that won’t shift.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in South Tyneside.

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Marsden?
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

FAQs for Marsden
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Marsden is covered. Prices do not change with location.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
