Bath re-enamelling in Ashton Hayes, done in place
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Repairing versus replacing in Ashton Hayes
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Ashton Hayes. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ashton Hayes
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

When to call us in Ashton Hayes
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Wear marks under the taps
- A coloured bath you want in white
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the colour is matched
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
