About our bath re-enamelling in Marshfield
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. If you are dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can typically put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
