Bath re-enamelling in Allen's Green without replacing anything

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you’re dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and wear marks under the taps, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Allen's Green?

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Common reasons people in Allen's Green contact us include:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

FAQs for Allen's Green

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Allen's Green?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

How long is the bath unusable?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Steel that has corroded right through

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

What we work on

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

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Repair or replace in Allen's Green?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Allen's Green clients choose us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

For landlords and businesses

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.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Allen's Green as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
