About our bath re-enamelling in Membland
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Membland
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An old resurfacing that’s failing

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Store bottles off the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Different materials, different repairs
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’s what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What affects the price in Membland
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PL8 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Membland: your questions answered
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.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
