Common questions in Alport
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have chips seen to early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Store bottles off the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Alport
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
