Bath re-enamelling in Ashmanhaugh, done in place

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Typical jobs include brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coloured bath you want in white, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Repairs by material

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.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Ashmanhaugh questions

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will the new finish last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you come to Ashmanhaugh?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Ashmanhaugh and the rest of Norfolk. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

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

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashmanhaugh as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ashmanhaugh

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colour-matched on site

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 normally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Ashmanhaugh. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
