Bath re-enamelling in Aldeby, done in place
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage

Common problems we fix in Aldeby
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price

Aldeby: your questions answered
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
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 price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Aldeby.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts 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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Aldeby
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most clients in Aldeby get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
