How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ashvale
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are lots of chips and rust spots and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Repairing versus replacing in Ashvale
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Work done at your home or business
- No extra charge for your area
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What else we do in Ashvale
Ashvale: your questions answered
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do you cover Ashvale?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Ashvale from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Ashvale, and we will reply with a fixed price.
