About our bath re-enamelling in Alder Hills
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We are often asked to fix an old resurfacing that’s failing and a roll-top that’s seen better days, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Alder Hills
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Alder Hills questions
Do you cover the whole of Poole?
The whole UK, including all of Poole. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What we are called out for in Alder Hills
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Stains that will not shift
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Several chips and rust patches
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Before booking anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether a trained technician does the job
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available

What affects the price in Alder Hills
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Alder Hills. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- 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 price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
