How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Allerton

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Allerton

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Allerton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Allerton: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Allerton?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Allerton. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
