Bath Re-enamelling in Ashurst Wood

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ashurst Wood
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an old resurfacing that’s failing, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Can I fix it myself?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Ashurst Wood. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
FAQs for Ashurst Wood
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Common problems we fix in Ashurst Wood
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- If travel is included in the price
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface 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 do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes most of the day in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
