How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Marshwood
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. Typical jobs include a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a coating lifting around the plughole, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath that is rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
When to call us in Marshwood
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Stains that won’t shift
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Marshwood: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
