DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
About our bath re-enamelling in Alton Barnes
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’re dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What affects the price in Alton Barnes
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
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.

Alton Barnes: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Alton Barnes?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Advice
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Alton Barnes?
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What to look for in a quote
- How to care for the finish
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

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 the part we put right.
