About our bath re-enamelling in Murkle
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are stains that won’t shift and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts 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.

- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Advice
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Questions from Murkle
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Murkle?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Murkle as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
