Bath re-enamelling in Ayston without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Typical jobs include several chips and rust patches and stains that won’t shift, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A bath split right through the body
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start 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.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Can I fix it myself?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Ayston questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
