Bath re-enamelling for Marybank homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Marybank

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a coloured bath you want in white.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Marybank questions

Do you come to Marybank?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Marybank from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Marybank

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Stains that won’t shift

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Marybank, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Repairs by material

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 what we repair.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
