About our bath re-enamelling in Ashfield Cum Thorpe
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about chips and rust in more than one place and wear marks under the taps.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common problems we fix in Ashfield Cum Thorpe

People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Common questions in Ashfield Cum Thorpe
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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 the part we put right.

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
