Bath re-enamelling in West Ashby

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Store bottles off the bath

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in West Ashby

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include a coating lifting around the plughole and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Questions from West Ashby

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Repair or replace in West Ashby?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in West Ashby, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

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 we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Holes rusted through the metal

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to West Ashby. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
