How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ashford in the Water
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ashford in the Water
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we are called out for in Ashford in the Water
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Several chips and rust patches
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How to look after the finish
- Who turns up on the day
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
