A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and stains that won’t shift, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Repairing versus replacing in Alfington
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Why Alfington customers choose us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Everything repaired in place

What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, tidy-up included.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
When we’d advise against a repair

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Alfington, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Alfington. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

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

Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
