About our bath re-enamelling in Allostock
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, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you are dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Allostock
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Allostock
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Stains that will not shift
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether they match the colour on site
- When it can be used again
- How to care for the finish
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Store bottles off the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take most of the day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
