Bath re-enamelling at your home in Algarkirk

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes most of the day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Algarkirk questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why Algarkirk clients choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.

What affects the price in Algarkirk

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Algarkirk. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Algarkirk, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What we are called out for in Algarkirk

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Comparing quotes

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What prep work is covered
  • When it can be used again
  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
