Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
What affects the price in Marston on Dove
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Marston on Dove. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Marston on Dove
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Marston on Dove use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Marston on Dove
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
