Bath re-enamelling near Alstone

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Alstone

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you are dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Choosing a repair company

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Alstone questions

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What happens on the day

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 the best part of a day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
