Book bath re-enamelling in Ashby Magna

Ashby Magna: your questions answered

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

About our bath re-enamelling in Ashby Magna

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s several chips and rust patches and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ashby Magna

Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

Common reasons people in Ashby Magna contact us include:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Aftercare advice
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
