What else we do in Ashton-on-Ribble
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Repairing versus replacing in Ashton-on-Ribble
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What affects the price in Ashton-on-Ribble
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Never use suction bath mats
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ashton-on-Ribble
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you cover Ashton-on-Ribble?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ashton-on-Ribble. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
