How we handle bath re-enamelling in Middle Aston
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Middle Aston: your questions answered
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Do you work in Middle Aston?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Middle Aston. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Are there extra charges for Middle Aston?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
What affects the price in Middle Aston
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your OX25 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Landlord and trade work in Middle Aston
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
When to call us in Middle Aston
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Several chips and rust patches
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Aftercare advice
- How your room will be protected
The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
