Bath Re-enamelling for Ashey homes
Local bath re-enamelling for Ashey: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ashey
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ashey. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Ashey, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ashey
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

When to call us in Ashey
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

- A metal bath with a through crack
