Bath re-enamelling at your home in Alstone
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common questions in Alstone
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Alstone. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
