Repairing versus replacing in Martin

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Martin

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We’re frequently asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LN4 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Martin: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

How long is the bath unusable?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your LN4 postcode.

Do you come to Martin?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Martin from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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