How we handle bath re-enamelling in Alby
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are several chips and rust patches and stains that won’t shift.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow most of the day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price

Related advice
Alby: your questions answered
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do you cover Alby?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Alby from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Norfolk. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Alby
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alby as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Repair dripping taps early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Alby?
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price covers travel
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- A bath that’s rusted through
