Bath re-enamelling in Five Ashes 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, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Five Ashes: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you come to Five Ashes?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Five Ashes for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Should you replace it?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day. Prices start from £350. 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 quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Common problems we fix in Five Ashes
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Questions to ask before booking
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- How long it needs to cure

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
