Bath re-enamelling in Ainsdale without replacing anything
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and worn patches where water runs and sits.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Questions from Ainsdale
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Are there extra charges for Ainsdale?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

What your bath is made of matters
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.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we’re called out for in Ainsdale
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Stains that will not shift
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Thin, worn enamel in places
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
