Common questions in Murton
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Murton?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
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.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Murton
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and lots of chips and rust spots, we can help, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Murton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in Murton
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Murton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What we’re called out for in Murton
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Stains that won’t shift
- A roll-top that is seen better days
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Repair or replace in Murton?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Never use suction bath mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Repair dripping taps early
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
