- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair

Bath re-enamelling in Aldermaston Wharf without replacing anything
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. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a coloured bath you want in white and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Common problems we fix in Aldermaston Wharf
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Aldermaston Wharf. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a full day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Aldermaston Wharf questions
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you come to Aldermaston Wharf?
We do. We send a technician to Aldermaston Wharf for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Aldermaston Wharf use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
