Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Landlord and trade work in Ansty
If you manage property in Ansty, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Have chips seen to early
- Repair dripping taps early
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a full day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What affects the price in Ansty
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Ansty, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Ansty
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
