Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ashwell
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Ashwell
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ashwell. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
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.
What we are called out for in Ashwell

Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Several chips and rust patches
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

Ashwell questions
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Ashwell?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LE15 postcode.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do you come to Ashwell?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ashwell. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repairing versus replacing in Ashwell
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- Work done at your home or business
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
