Questions from Aldercar
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually 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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in Aldercar
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Landlord and trade work in Aldercar
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Aldercar use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
