If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

  • Cast iron baths

About our bath re-enamelling in Asenby

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and wear marks under the taps, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace in Asenby?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Asenby. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in Asenby

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Asenby, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
