How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow most of the day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
Most customers in Althorne get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Bath re-enamelling in Althorne, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. If you are dealing with lots of chips and rust spots and wear marks under the taps, we can typically put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Althorne
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A coating lifting around the plughole
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Althorne: your questions answered
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Althorne. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
