About our bath re-enamelling in Allington
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Allington
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Allington as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
