Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Marton, Middlesbrough
Bath re-enamelling for Marton, without a refit. Send us photos for a fixed quote, then we come to you.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Several chips and rust patches
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Bath re-enamelling in Marton without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can generally put it right, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Marton
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
