What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Ashill. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

If you are in Ashill and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Bath re-enamelling in Ashill, done in place

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. Common call-outs are for staining under the taps and around the waste and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Common problems we fix in Ashill

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, 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 anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Common questions in Ashill

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you come to Ashill?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ashill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Repairing versus replacing in Ashill

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
