Questions from Marsh Green

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

Across the UK, so Marsh Green is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

How long is the bath unusable?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

About our bath re-enamelling in Marsh Green

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coloured bath you want in white, we can normally put it right.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  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 day after.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Common problems we fix in Marsh Green

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

  • How the room is protected while they work

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our full price list and bath cost comparison.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Surfaces we repair

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EX5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
