Bath re-enamelling in Marsh Common without replacing anything

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you are dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can normally put it right, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

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.

Marsh Common questions

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Have chips seen to early

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  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. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Common problems we fix in Marsh Common

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Comparing quotes

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Marsh Common. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Marsh Common, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why Marsh Common clients choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
