Bath re-enamelling in Ashwell, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Ashwell
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common problems we fix in Ashwell
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Ashwell. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
If you are in Ashwell and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What else we do in Ashwell
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
FAQs for Ashwell
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Work for landlords and builders
