Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Alvanley, Cheshire West and Chester
Damaged bath in Alvanley? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Store bottles off the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Alvanley
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
When to call us in Alvanley
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
Common reasons people in Alvanley contact us are:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Comparing quotes
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access

FAQs for Alvanley
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What do you need from me?

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alvanley use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
