- Resurfacing from £350
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Mears Ashby
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and thin, worn enamel in places, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Common problems we fix in Mears Ashby
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Stains that won’t shift
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How your room will be protected
- How to care for the finish
- When it can be used again
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Get any chip repaired quickly
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price

Advice
Questions from Mears Ashby
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Northamptonshire.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
