Bath re-enamelling at your home in Alphington
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Alphington?
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Wear marks under the taps
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A roll-top that is seen better days
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Landlord and trade work in Alphington
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alphington use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a full day. We leave the room clean.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath that’s rusted through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What else we do in Alphington
Questions from Alphington
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Alphington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- No extra charge for your area

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Alphington. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
