Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Ashbrittle, Somerset
Problem with your bath in Ashbrittle? We put it right where it is, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A roll-top that is seen better days
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ashbrittle
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. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and chips and rust in more than one place.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashbrittle use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ashbrittle: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Do you work in Ashbrittle?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Ashbrittle from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
