DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Long Ashes
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Long Ashes questions
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
Do you cover Long Ashes?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Long Ashes and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Yorkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a full day. We leave the room clean.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
What affects the price in Long Ashes
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Common problems we fix in Long Ashes
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- Aftercare advice
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
