What affects the price in Five Ash Down
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Bath re-enamelling in Five Ash Down without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you are dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and lots of chips and rust spots, we can typically put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

FAQs for Five Ash Down
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you work in Five Ash Down?
We do. Technicians travel to Five Ash Down from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Common problems we fix in Five Ash Down
Often the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
Look out for any of the following:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Wear marks under the taps
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Who turns up on the day
- How the room is protected while they work
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Respect the curing time we give you
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Repairing versus replacing in Five Ash Down
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
