How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ashwell End
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We are often asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and wear marks under the taps, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Ashwell End?
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:
- Stains that will not shift
- Several chips and rust patches
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Ashwell End, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
