What affects the price in West Markham
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Bath re-enamelling in West Markham, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common problems we fix in West Markham
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
Look out for any of the following:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Several chips and rust patches
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who will actually do the work
- How soon you can use it again
- What preparation is included
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Common questions in West Markham
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing 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 with your NG22 postcode.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Nottinghamshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays

Repair or replace: which is better?

- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
