Bath re-enamelling for Astmoor homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Astmoor

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We are often asked to fix lots of chips and rust spots and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Astmoor

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Repair dripping taps early

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Repairing versus replacing in Astmoor

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Astmoor. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Astmoor clients choose us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Same prices wherever you are

Astmoor questions

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Do you cover Astmoor?

We do. Technicians travel to Astmoor from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Astmoor. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repairs by material

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 check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Landlord and trade work in Astmoor

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
