Bath re-enamelling near Ashwick

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Bath re-enamelling in Ashwick without replacing anything

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and stains that won’t shift, we can typically put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Ashwick?

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Several chips and rust patches

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Ashwick. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Why repair rather than replace?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops

FAQs for Ashwick

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Ashwick and the rest of Somerset. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
