About our bath re-enamelling in Marybank

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Marybank

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Our hiring checklist

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Marybank

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

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Marybank

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Marybank. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most clients in Marybank get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit
