How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ashburton
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you are dealing with several chips and rust patches and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashburton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
For a price in Ashburton, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Ashburton questions
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Ashburton included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Are there extra charges for Ashburton?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
