Bath re-enamelling at your home in Aldersbrook
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Aldersbrook and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
When to call us in Aldersbrook
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Clients normally contact us about:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Stains that will not shift
- An old resurfacing that’s failing

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
What affects the price in Aldersbrook
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most customers in Aldersbrook get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths

FAQs for Aldersbrook
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Aldersbrook.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
