Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
About our bath re-enamelling in Marton
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Marton questions
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Marton?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work in Marton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Marton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.

How it works

- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
