The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

When to call us in Astley Cross

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace in Astley Cross?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Astley Cross. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Astley Cross clients choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One visit for most repairs

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Astley Cross

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

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Common questions in Astley Cross

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you work in Astley Cross?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Astley Cross and the rest of Worcestershire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Astley Cross included. There is no extra charge for travel.
