How we handle bath re-enamelling in Allington
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include chips and rust in more than one place and staining under the taps and around the waste, across basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Allington questions
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Allington?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Lincolnshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Store bottles off the bath
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When to call us in Allington
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Several chips and rust patches
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coloured bath you want in white

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
