Bath re-enamelling at your home in Alciston
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and worn patches where water runs and sits.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Alciston. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Questions from Alciston
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Alciston?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Alciston.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Common problems we fix in Alciston
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Several chips and rust patches

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Repair or replace in Alciston?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Alciston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
