Bath re-enamelling at your home in Cranford St Andrew

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about wear marks under the taps and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Cranford St Andrew

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cranford St Andrew use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Cranford St Andrew, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Cranford St Andrew. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed 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
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
