Bath re-enamelling for Marston Montgomery homes

Bath re-enamelling in Marston Montgomery without replacing anything

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and lots of chips and rust spots, across Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Derbyshire.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Marston Montgomery questions

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Are there extra charges for Marston Montgomery?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Should you replace it?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Take a look at our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Have chips seen to early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day. We leave the room clean 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. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Marston Montgomery. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
