About our bath re-enamelling in Ashley
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wiltshire.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What else we do in Ashley
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath split right through the body
- A bath that is rusted through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Ashley
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Ashley, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
