What affects the price in Alphamstone
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Alphamstone, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Have chips seen to early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Alphamstone: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you work in Alphamstone?
We do. Technicians travel to Alphamstone from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When to call us in Alphamstone
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Stains that won’t shift
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Wear marks under the taps
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether a trained technician does the job
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Alphamstone
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
Repair or replace in Alphamstone?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- No need to remove anything
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colour-matched on site
