Bath re-enamelling in Long Ashton, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include staining under the taps and around the waste and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a full day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Related advice
Repair or replace in Long Ashton?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
Long Ashton: your questions answered
Do you work in Long Ashton?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Long Ashton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do you cover the entire of North Somerset?
The entire UK, including all of North Somerset. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.
What affects the price in Long Ashton
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Long Ashton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you are in Long Ashton and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Long Ashton
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An old resurfacing that is failing
