Need bath re-enamelling in Ashton?

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Ashton clients choose us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Bath re-enamelling in Ashton, done in place

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can usually put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Ashton

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?

We cover the whole UK, including Ashton and the rest of Hampshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

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

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Hampshire.

Common problems we fix in Ashton

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Our hiring checklist

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ashton

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

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

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
