Bath re-enamelling at your home in Alton
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and worn patches where water runs and sits.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry

Advice
Alton: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Alton. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Alton

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
