DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ashurst
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. Whether it’s an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and lots of chips and rust spots, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in Ashurst
Are there extra charges for Ashurst?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Landlord and trade work in Ashurst
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Same prices wherever you are
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ashurst
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Stains that won’t shift
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
