What affects the price in Alverstone

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Alverstone

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Landlord and trade work in Alverstone

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Should you replace it?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Alverstone

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Alverstone included. Travel is included in the price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Alverstone

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Stains that won’t shift

What to look for in a quote

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
