Bath re-enamelling in Ashwood, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for worn patches where water runs and sits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ashwood
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

For landlords and businesses

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.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Repair dripping taps early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ashwood. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we’re called out for in Ashwood
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Thin, worn enamel in places
What to look for in a quote
- How to look after the finish
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
