About our bath re-enamelling in South Alkham
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and chips and rust in more than one place.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
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 relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
