Problem with your bath in Alberbury? We repair it in place, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Bath re-enamelling in Alberbury without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you are dealing with stains that won’t shift and several chips and rust patches, we can help, whatever the material.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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 what we repair.
What affects the price in Alberbury
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Alberbury. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Alberbury. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Alberbury, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take most of the day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Alberbury
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Alberbury
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
Comparing quotes
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price covers travel
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
