Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Marshborough, Kent
Bath re-enamelling across Marshborough and nearby, usually in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Can I fix it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
About our bath re-enamelling in Marshborough
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Marshborough
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Avoid suction-cup mats
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Marshborough
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you come to Marshborough?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Marshborough and the rest of Kent. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
