About our bath re-enamelling in Ashen
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ashen and across Suffolk.

What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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 typically cheaper.

Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Store bottles off the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ashen. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Questions from Ashen
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
