About our bath re-enamelling in Canons Ashby
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and wear marks under the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
What else we do in Canons Ashby
Canons Ashby questions
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Canons Ashby?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you work in Canons Ashby?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Canons Ashby for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Do you cover the entire of Northamptonshire?
The entire UK, including all of Northamptonshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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.

Materials we work on in Canons Ashby
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Have chips seen to early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
