What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Bath re-enamelling in Ashby without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you’re dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can normally put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Ashby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ashby
Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ashby
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
