How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ashmore Brook

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Repairing versus replacing in Ashmore Brook

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Ashmore Brook?

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before you book

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Ashmore Brook, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

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.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a full day.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Ashmore Brook questions

How long does re-enamelling take?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you cover the whole of Staffordshire?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Ashmore Brook.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
