Bath re-enamelling in Ashford, done in place

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • The material

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Ashford, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths

Repair or replace: which is better?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Ashford questions

Will the new finish last?

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.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Ashford?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your SP6 postcode.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
