Bath re-enamelling in Cranham

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

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

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

About our bath re-enamelling in Cranham

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can generally put it right, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Repair or replace in Cranham?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, 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.

Why Cranham clients choose us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Cranham

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day

FAQs for Cranham

Do you work in Cranham?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Cranham. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Will there be fumes?

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

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

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