Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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.
Bath re-enamelling in Ashreigney, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with lots of chips and rust spots and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can normally put it right, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ashreigney
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coating lifting around the plughole

Ashreigney: your questions answered
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do you come to Ashreigney?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Ashreigney. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Ashreigney. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most customers in Ashreigney get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a full day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.

Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Repair or replace in Ashreigney?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
