How we handle bath re-enamelling in Aston

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

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

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

For landlords and businesses

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.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Aston questions

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Are there extra charges for Aston?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

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.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Aston get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we are called out for in Aston

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Comparing quotes

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

For a price in Aston, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
