About our bath re-enamelling in Aldborough
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

FAQs for Aldborough
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Landlord and trade work in Aldborough
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Aldborough as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Aldborough?
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Look out for these signs:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Stains that won’t shift
