Bath re-enamelling at your home in Cranbrook
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Typical jobs include staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Questions from Cranbrook
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you work in Cranbrook?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Cranbrook from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Repair dripping taps early
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Repair or replace in Cranbrook?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cranbrook. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What affects the price in Cranbrook

- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area

How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- 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.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
