Bath re-enamelling near Alderton

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Bath re-enamelling in Alderton, done in place

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We are often asked to fix wear marks under the taps and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alderton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Questions from Alderton

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.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SN14 postcode.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Have chips seen to early

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Alderton. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

Most clients in Alderton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Alderton?

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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