Common questions in Ardvasar
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ardvasar
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Never use suction bath mats
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Repair or replace in Ardvasar?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us

- A fixed quote before you book

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ardvasar. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Ardvasar, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ardvasar as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- 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.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
