How we handle bath re-enamelling in Allerton Bywater
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We are often asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Have chips seen to early
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Allerton Bywater
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

- Wear marks under the taps
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Questions to ask before booking

- What preparation is included
- How the colour is matched

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
FAQs for Allerton Bywater
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Allerton Bywater. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
