Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. 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.
Bath re-enamelling in Nine Ashes, done in place
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, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include staining under the taps and around the waste and wear marks under the taps, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
FAQs for Nine Ashes
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
