Bath re-enamelling at your home in Alton
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Alton
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
Common questions in Alton
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Respect the curing time we give you
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
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 reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
