Bath re-enamelling in Aston without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are a coloured bath you want in white and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What affects the price in Aston
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- 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
For a price in Aston, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Aston: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Are there extra charges for Aston?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Aston?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Common problems we fix in Aston
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Wear marks under the taps

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
