Bath Re-enamelling in Alderford

- Resurfacing from £350
- Lots of chips and rust spots

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Alderford
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and several chips and rust patches, we can help, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Landlord and trade work in Alderford
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Questions from Alderford
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Alderford?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
