Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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.
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Aldreth
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Several chips and rust patches
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coating lifting around the plughole
What your quote should include

What affects the price in Aldreth
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Aldreth. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Aldreth, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Aldreth. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What else we do in Aldreth
Aldreth questions
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you come to Aldreth?
We do. We send a technician to Aldreth for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
