About our bath re-enamelling in Crabtree
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Typical jobs include several chips and rust patches and a coating lifting around the plughole, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repairing versus replacing in Crabtree
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Crabtree: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you come to Crabtree?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Crabtree from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Crabtree?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PL3 postcode.
What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
What we are called out for in Crabtree

Common reasons people in Crabtree contact us are:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Wear marks under the taps
