Bath Re-enamelling for Ashton Vale homes
Bath re-enamelling across Ashton Vale and nearby, normally in one visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Wear marks under the taps
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ashton Vale
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Common call-outs are for chips and rust in more than one place and an outdated colour you’d like to change, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Do you come to Ashton Vale?

Landlord and trade work in Ashton Vale
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashton Vale as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
