About our bath re-enamelling in St Margarets

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. 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. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for St Margarets. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why St Margarets customers choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can

St Margarets questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

How long is the bath unusable?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Common problems we fix in St Margarets

Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.
