Bath Re-enamelling for Campsea Ashe homes
Damaged bath in Campsea Ashe? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Wear marks under the taps
- Chips and rust in more than one place
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
About our bath re-enamelling in Campsea Ashe
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are thin, worn enamel in places and stains that won’t shift.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Campsea Ashe as everywhere else we work.

What affects the price in Campsea Ashe
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Repairing versus replacing in Campsea Ashe
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Campsea Ashe questions
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- 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
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice
Landlord and trade work in Campsea Ashe
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Campsea Ashe
Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
