Bath re-enamelling in Marston Magna

Bath re-enamelling in Marston Magna without replacing anything

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and lots of chips and rust spots.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

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

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes most of the day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Marston Magna

How long will the bath be out of use?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Marston Magna?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Marston Magna. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire bath

You don’t 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 reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Marston Magna?

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
