Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Marton

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Marton. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Landlord and trade work in Marton

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Marton

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Marton

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

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

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
