Bath Re-enamelling in Ashbank
We travel to Ashbank for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- Everything repaired in place
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colour mixed on the day to match
See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ashbank
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include several chips and rust patches and an old resurfacing that’s failing, across Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Repairs by material
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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
When to call us in Ashbank
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to look after the finish
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Ashbank. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ashbank
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

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

- Let us know if it has been repaired before
