Bath re-enamelling in Ashby, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coloured bath you want in white.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
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.
When to call us in Ashby
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

What else we do in Ashby
Should you replace it?

The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Everything repaired in place
- No extra charge for your area
- Most jobs done in one visit
See our pricing and bath cost comparison.
What affects the price in Ashby
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Questions from Ashby
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Ashby.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- 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.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
