Bath re-enamelling in Ashurst without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old 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. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Ashurst. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SO40 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
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.
Ashurst questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
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.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Ashurst?
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashurst as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
