Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Never use suction bath mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

FAQs for Alkrington
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Alkrington is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
