Bath Re-enamelling in Alkerton
Damaged bath in Alkerton? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Alkerton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Alkerton
Often the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Before booking anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- When it can be used again
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
