Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Bath re-enamelling in Alderton without replacing anything

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Typical jobs include an old resurfacing that’s failing and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

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 what we repair.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a full day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Alderton. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Should you replace it?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
