Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Alne

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about an old resurfacing that’s failing and lots of chips and rust spots.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Alne

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Alne. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Alne

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

When to call us in Alne

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Alne

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

How soon can you come?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
