Bath re-enamelling in Alderminster

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Alderminster

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Repair or replace: which is better?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why Alderminster customers choose us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Alderminster?

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How to care for the finish
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

Alderminster questions

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

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.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Do you cover the whole of Warwickshire?

We cover the whole UK, including Alderminster and the rest of Warwickshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
