Bath re-enamelling in Albaston without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Common call-outs are for an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Albaston: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you work in Albaston?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Albaston. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Common problems we fix in Albaston
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Stains that won’t shift
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
