How we handle bath re-enamelling in Martley
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We are often asked to fix several chips and rust patches and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Martley?
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How to care for the finish
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Common questions in Martley
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Are there extra charges for Martley?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Landlord and trade work in Martley
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Martley. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire bath
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
