Bath re-enamelling near Ashton

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

About our bath re-enamelling in Ashton

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you’re dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Ashton

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Why repair rather than replace?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Ashton customers choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before booking

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ashton

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
