Bath re-enamelling near Cranford

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Bath re-enamelling in Cranford, done in place

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and wear marks under the taps.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Cranford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Cranford

Common questions in Cranford

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Are there extra charges for Cranford?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Cranford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
