Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Bath re-enamelling in Allerford without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you are dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and a coloured bath you want in white, we can generally put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Allerford. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Allerford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Repair or replace in Allerford?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Allerford questions
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Somerset. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
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 entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
