Bath re-enamelling in Ash without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and several chips and rust patches, we can help, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ash
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Wear marks under the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- What prep work is covered
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find more damage

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Common questions in Ash
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TA12 postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
