Bath re-enamelling in Crambeck

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Crambeck

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and wear marks under the taps, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common questions in Crambeck

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

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.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

How long is the bath unusable?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Repair or replace in Crambeck?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Roll-top and period baths

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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