Bath re-enamelling at your home in Alwalton
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We are often asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
If you manage property in Alwalton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Alwalton questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you are in Alwalton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths

What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
