Alcester: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you cover the whole of Warwickshire?
All of Warwickshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Bath re-enamelling in Alcester without replacing anything
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We’re often asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a coloured bath you want in white, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths

Jobs in B49 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. From High Street, Station Road and School Road or a nearby road, a technician can come to you. Alcester is on the B4089, so it’s easy for us to reach. Nearby, we also work in Oversley Green (1 mile south), Kings Coughton (1 mile north-west), Alne End (2 miles north-east), Coughton (2 miles north-west) and Great Alne (2 miles north-east).

Landlords, agents and businesses in Alcester
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alcester use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Alcester, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Alcester
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- How your room will be protected
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What affects the price in Alcester
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
