Bath re-enamelling in Crail without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are wear marks under the taps and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price.
Other services in Crail
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crail as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Crail: your questions answered
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A bath split right through the body
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
