Allensmore questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you work in Allensmore?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Allensmore and the rest of Herefordshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Allensmore?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your HR2 postcode.
Is my repair covered?

Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Bath re-enamelling in Allensmore, done in place
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. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and thin, worn enamel in places, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Advice
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
