Bath re-enamelling for Ash Mill homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Ash Mill

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and staining under the taps and around the waste, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

If you manage property in Ash Mill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What we’re called out for in Ash Mill

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Before booking anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Ash Mill. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

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

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Ash Mill

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Common questions in Ash Mill

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

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.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
