Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ashley Heath
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an outdated colour you’d like to change and several chips and rust patches.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Common problems we fix in Ashley Heath
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Can I fix it myself?
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 frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair dripping taps early
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Ashley Heath: your questions answered
How long is the bath unusable?

Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Ashley Heath included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes most of the day. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
