Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ashlett
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Typical jobs include a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
When to call us in Ashlett
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Look out for these signs:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Why repair rather than replace?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Ashlett. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most clients in Ashlett get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Advice
Questions from Ashlett
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
