Bath re-enamelling in Alvaston, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We are frequently asked to fix a bath in a colour that no longer suits and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Alvaston
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Landlords, agents and businesses in Alvaston
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alvaston as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take the best part of a day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice
Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
