Bath re-enamelling in Ashby St Mary, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- 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 typically ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ashby St Mary questions
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
