What affects the price in Alt
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
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.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Alt
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. We are often asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Alt
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
If you manage property in Alt, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your OL4 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Alt
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Same prices wherever you are
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Alt
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Alt?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Have chips seen to early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What else we do in Alt
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
