Bath re-enamelling at your home in Askomill
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about stains that won’t shift and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common problems we fix in Askomill
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Several chips and rust patches
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coating lifting around the plughole

Common questions in Askomill
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you come to Askomill?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Askomill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.

What else we do in Askomill
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a full day.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start 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.
