Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ashbourne
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. Typical jobs include a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coloured bath you want in white, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for most of the day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ashbourne
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
