About our bath re-enamelling in Alton
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. If you’re dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath that’s rusted through

Repairing versus replacing in Alton
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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 usually cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Alton: your questions answered
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Alton included. Travel is included in the price.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
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.
Do you work in Alton?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Alton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Repair dripping taps early
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
