When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Related advice
Common questions in Ashington
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do you come to Ashington?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Ashington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most clients in Ashington get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What else we do in Ashington
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
