How we handle bath re-enamelling in Asheldham
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. If you’re dealing with lots of chips and rust spots and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What affects the price in Asheldham
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Common problems we fix in Asheldham
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Before you book anyone

- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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 pay close attention there.

What else we do in Asheldham
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Questions from Asheldham
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you work in Asheldham?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Asheldham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Are there extra charges for Asheldham?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

For anyone letting property in or around Asheldham, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
