About our bath re-enamelling in Marsh Gibbon
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are wear marks under the taps and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Marsh Gibbon?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coating lifting around the plughole

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

What affects the price in Marsh Gibbon
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Marsh Gibbon. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Marsh Gibbon
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Marsh Gibbon use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- 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.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
